Randy has shared most of his life with Vizslas, going back to the first Vizsla acquired by his parents, Clif & Hilda Boggs (Behi Vizslas) in the early 1960’s. Sue was happy to “marry into” Vizslas in 1980, and we have shared our lives with Vizslas since our first dog came home with us on Memorial Day, 1982. Moose came to us from Randy’s sister, Nancy Heinold DVM. We originally had given little thought to AKC competitive events, but Moose’s enthusiasm for hunting kindled our interest. Although our under-developed skills led to many training mistakes along the way, Moose accrued 9 of the 10 points needed for a Field Championship. In the process, Moose became an outstanding pheasant dog and Randy’s best hunting partner, and our best friend. Such is life with a Vizsla. After 20 years of competing in AKC events, we have now taken a step back from competitive events, although Sue occasionally shows dogs and Randy occasionally trains gun dogs. We breed on a limited basis, carrying into the 8th generation a blood line that traces directly back to the foundation bitch of Behi Vizslas, DC Behi Csinos Csiny, CD, VCA Hall of Fame. Snow Ridge Vizslas was christened when we lived in the snow belt region of Ohio east of Cleveland – referred to in some history books as the Great Snow Ridge of Ohio. Although we no longer live in that area, we have many wonderful memories of life with our dogs on Snow Ridge, and that name carries on. Randy
