Prefix : SHEMARIAH (Hungarian Vizsla)
Our first introduction to Vizsla was when we purchased Taz (Essential Gold of Hi-VIz) in 2003. We fell in love with the short hair, velvet golden coat, the eagerness to please, and the gentle yet energetic nature of our dog. We added a bitch, Ponsonby Golden Ruby. In 2012 we registered Shemariah Kennels with DOGSNZ. All our dogs are hip and elbow-scored. As a hunter I have primarily bred for the hunting fraternity, keeping the odd pup to continue our wonderful lines.
As a passionate Pedigree Jersey cow breeder, my breeding has been greatly influenced by my understanding that form dictates function. Without correct confirmation, both longevity and a physically productive life are compromised. Hence, I have established lines using Show Champion Dogs where possible. Never just using "Zac" down the road because he is an awesome hunter.
In more recent years I have endeavoured to expand the NZ bloodlines by importing semen from 3 different dogs from Europe. Again, my selection criteria has been around excellence in conformation and National or International show winnings, combined with a very strong hunting lineage and prowess.
Today we are excited to have dogs from both Quatro Magyar-Tim PP1 and Facanvadasz Ambrus, each with numerous titles in show and field and excellent health traits.
A Shemariah dog comes with confidence that they should excel in the ring and field.
We offer a lifetime of support to all our buyers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/690609638424896
