PAST EVENTS

Our club recently ran two successful FETCH tests at Golden Rule for Dogs in Andover, NJ. This is the third time our club has run these tests and each time we run an event we keep getting more entries. It is always so interesting to see the various breeds that enter!
Participants in FETCH must start at the Novice level and work their way through Intermediate, Advanced, and finally Retriever. Our club is proud to announce that Ripley owned by Heinz Wimer, passed the very difficult Retriever level and thereby added a new title to his name. He is now Ch Anderson’s Ripley BN SH DCAT CGC TKN FTR.
Marie Warniaha, put a Novice title on her Wata Regal Rigatoni (Riggs) and club members, Sharon and Jim Hennen got a Novice pass on their Chase.

The Vizsla Club of Greater New York (VGGNY) hosted a wonderful two-day Vizsla Specialty Show in New Paltz, New York on June 20th and 21st, 2026, bringing together members and exhibitors for a memorable weekend. Held in honor of longtime members Chet Anderson and Joe Quinn, the event featured beautiful weather, a successful raffle supporting the club, and a warm sense of community as attendees shared meals and stories.

Judges praised both the exhibitors and the impressive quality of the Vizslas, noting the breed’s continued progress. Special recognition goes to Christine Arnone for her dedication in creating the event’s trophies, baskets, and raffle items. Congratulations to all the winners, including Ritu Mihir for earning a new champion title and Amy Born Kobal for Best of Breed on Sunday. It was truly a special event, and the club looks forward to welcoming everyone again next year.
