He is very promising young dog, he excelled in the shows as he now does in the field.  He biggest love is working in the field with Bonita and playing with his pals, Bella and Riley. Rocket has passed all his health tests and is available to stud for approved bitches.

Rocket was bred by Barrie & Hilarie Brinkworth and Frank & Martha Lacko. Frank & Martha are Rocket's co-owners.

Rocket's Show: 

Rocket is true son of Toldi and Pele, he has good front, great shoulder angulation and beautiful head of a Vizsla male. Like his brothers from all of Toldi/Pele litters, he is very handsome, moderate size at 23" & 52 lbs. and has a good bone. He is balanced and square, is showing nice muscles and well developed rear, his movement is effortless, with great front extension. His head is beautiful, male head with brown eyes and alert look with proper ear set.  He has good top line and proper tail set. His entry into the show was getting 4 Point Major by going Best of Winners at Michigan Vizsla Club Specialty in 2006 and he has won the Sweeps also. The Michigan Sweeps judge commented that Rocket has the most beautiful and proper Vizsla head she has seen in a long time. Rocket finished his Championship title easily under some very experienced judges with positive comments and 4 x 4 point majors. He was also Reserve WD to a 5 point majors. At the same time, he has qualified for  NAVHDA N/A Prize II and iced his Junior Hunter title. Like his siblings from Toldi&Pele's four litters, he is a fine example of a male Vizsla. He is starting his field career with Bonita's guidance and handling, will be participating in the field events with her. Rocket is very promising male and we are looking forward to his future successes.  Scroll down for Rocket's field story and pictures.
