“Jensie” was named after a famous German cyclist – it’s best to ask his owners David and Ilene for all the details!  Jenise made his way from Zenith Vizslas in Texas to California based on the needs of his owners to find a Vizsla with a fabulous temperament, and he has not disappointed. He is a very sweet boy.

He finished his Championship in a handful of weekends — owner handled — earning two big Majors (5 Points at a Supported Entry) and before the age of two. He has a beautiful shoulder and front assembly and a big floating side gait. Jensie’s head is masculine with a broad skull and nice expression.  He will be shown sparingly as a Special as we are so excited to get him on birds!

Jensie’s pedigree reflects holds a proven strength in conformation and versatility:

His Sire “Beckett” (CH HRQ Ask the Expert, JH) finished his AKC Championship in a handful of shows from the Bred By Exhibitor Class, earning a 5 Point Major at his show debut (6 mos. old) and 4 Point Major in his second ring appearance (the same month). He later won Best Puppy in Sweepstakes at the 2012 VCSC Specialty in Pasadena. Bred sparingly, he has been a very nice producer with a Best in Specialty (BISS) Winner, multiple Champions — nine (9) and counting, several Grand Champions and Hunt and Obedience titled get.

Beckett’s Dam “Q” (BISS GCH CH Tivoliz Now Pay Attention, CD RN MH AX AXJ VC TDI ROM) can do anything she sets her mind to! She is a Best in Specialty Show Winner, Group Winner, Multiple Group Placer, Multiple Award of Merit recipient, and most recently won Best Veteran in Sweepstakes and Select Bitch at the prestigious 2013 Vizsla Club of Northern CA Specialty. Not just a “pretty face”, she also loves her birds and earned her Master Hunt Title and the Hunters Gun Dog trophy; in April 2013 (at age 7) she won the Amateur Gun Dog stake with 26 dogs (a 5 Point Major). She is also titled in Rally, Obedience, Agility and Therapy. No wonder her nickname is “alphabet soup!”

His Dam “Echo” (GCH Zenith’s Back Atcha) has a pedigree full of Hall of Fame dogs including; CH Lyons Skipjack of Harann ROM HOF “Skipper”, BIS CH Penlee’s Cutter UD ROM HOF “Cutter”, BIS CH Harann’s Tulipann ROM HOF “Tuli”, and CH Firebrand’s Constant Comment ROM HOF “CC”, as well as the oldest lived Vizsla (20+ years old) CH Dirigo Gambler’s Marker ROM HOF “Marker”.

Echo’s Sire “Schuyler” (NBISS CH Zenith’s Red Sky At Morning, UDX OA NAJ ROM) won Best of Breed at the 1993 Vizsla Club of America National Specialty (Ohio) under judge Mr. Roger Hartinger.
