HOT NEWS!!! Sophia won Best Bitch at the HVC Show 2008
|
| We are dedicated to breeding quality Hungarian Vizslas, we have owned the breed for almost 14 years. |
We own 2 Show Champion Vizslas and 5 others who have their stud book numbers, (which means they are qualified
for Crufts for life). We are not a kennels or a large scale breeder, we plan our litters carefully and have less
than 1 litter in any one year, we aim to produce quality puppies. This can be seen to be the case in the puppy
we kept back from our previous litter in 2006. Sophia (or Ilexwood Sapphire JW), won Best Puppy in Breed at Crufts
2007, she has also won her Junior warrant at only 14 months old (this gives her a lifetime qualification for Crufts).
Sophia also won Best Bitch and BOS at the HVC Show on the 30/03/08, proving, that our breeding program works!
Catherine also shows English Setters in partnership (please see details of our Setters below). |

L-R Ruby 12, Amber 5, Hollie 14 and Sophia(JW) 23 months
My first Vizsla Hollie came to live with us in 1994, I had wanted my Affix to be Hollywood!
But of course that was taken so I decided on Ilex (The botanical name for Holly) and Wood, as that produced Ilexwood
Aka, Hollywood! We had booked Hollie 2 years before she was born, she was bred by Linda and Peter Upton (TRAGUS)
from Luton. After winning her 4th CC we decided to breed our first litter from Ruby in 2001, but tragically at
the cesarean birth the puppies were still born. This was a huge shock to us as Cath had bred Cocker Spaniels for
15 years with success and no problems. After another 4 years e we bred our second litter born in April 2006 this
was only my second litter in 14 years of owning this lovely breed. We have Ambers second litter (our 3rd litter)
born in November 2007 just about to make their show debute in May 2008. Good Luck to them all..

ILEXWOOD HISTORY
It was 1980 when I bought my first dog a golden Cocker Spaniel, I showed Amber(1st) for a few years, she was my
foundation bitch. I bred my first litter in 1983 and started showing her puppies to some good wins. Then in 1986
at Crufts, I spotted the beautiful Hungarian Vizsla, having made inquiries, I decided this was the breed for me.
I met and spoke to Mrs Gay Gottlieb, Gay gave me lots of advice and help concerning the breed. It was 1994 when
I was able to own (or more likely be owned by) a Vizsla and Hollie joined us at Ilexwood.
Jon and I now own and live with four Hungarian Vizslak. I also own Sh Ch Tragus Star Turn in partnership with Linda
and Peter Upton, Tragus Firefly at Ilexwood (Riley) is owned in Partnership with Karen Witcombe and Ilexwood Red
Onyx (Louis) owned in partnership with Jane and Duncan Nicholson. |
