Hot off the presses GALIBIER GETS THE COVER FOR THE 2015 RIO SALADO VIZSLA CLUB CALENDAR

Posted on November 16, 2014 by admin

Proud to announce that Galibier will be on the 2015 Rio Salado Vizsla Club calendar. Since being awarded the exclusive cover Galibier has been extremely busy as of late and not just chasing his tail. He has been hitting the barking circuit with appearances and interviews with the Dog Whisperer, Animal Planet, and AKC today just to name a few. Also calendar signings at Petsmats, Petco, and Paws r US.

Galibier has also turned into quite the prima donna after his photo shoot. He now expects fresh toilet bowl water, dinner with us at the kitchen table, laying on the couches, sleeping in our bed and us to take him for daily walks. If I didn’t know better I would say he is a bitch.

Also joining Galibier in the calendar, December is Galibier’s dad, the Legend, the Myth, the great d’Huez along with some of their hunting buddies.

Galibier’s photo shoot was in the stunning mountain area of Crested Butte Colorado. d’Huez’s photo shoot was in the the beautiful mountains in southern Arizona south of Sonoita Arizona and not too far from the Mexico border.

ARIZONA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS DIVISION 1. Shannon 9th. Xavier 2nd.

Posted on November 10, 2014 by admin

The 2014 Cross Country Arizona State Championships were held this past Saturday, November 8th at the Cave Creek golf course in Phoenix. Along with a challenging course we also had unseasonably hot weather. If we didn’t have record temperatures for the day we were darn close. It is a great course with lots of rolling hills that can destroy a racer if they go out too fast.

Shannon and her team were very well prepared for the race and they raced strong and smart. Shannon led the Xavier Gators home with a 9th place finish and helped the Gators to a 2nd place finish. Shannon set her own personal record on the course beating her previous best by 31 seconds! Speaking of records the race winner, Dani Jones set a course record and beat her personal best by 34 seconds.

GREAT RACE XAVIER GATORS! GREAT RACE SHANNON!

Next up Nike Southwest.
