Testimonials
“Bridget has been an immeasurable help in helping me find a great stud dog for my most recent litter. And placing a couple of pups from the resulting very large litter. She is a terrific resource for questions about the Vizsla breed and training questions. Advice is free!”
– Client
“I’ve known Bridget for almost 20 years and you would be hard pressed to find a trainer/breeder who is more committed to her clients and her dogs. I currently have a 21 month old Wall Canyon dog that is an awesome wild bird hunter by day and a snuggly couch potato by night… I would not hesitate to reach out to Bridget for any dog training needs.”
– Client
“Nova has been an amazing hunting buddy from finding Ptarmigan all over the mountains of Alaska to Pheasant hunting in the Lower 48… Bridget has been an excellent resource for training. She has helped me work through multiple questions and scenarios as I train my first hunting dog.”
