If you'd like a male vizsla but don't want to go through the "puppy training process" or field training, we have the one you want!Wingshot has a male Vizla, born July 2010. He is Wingshot's Son of a Gun, and his call name is Gauge. Gauge has an awesome pedigree; his sire is 3x NGDC 2x NAFC NVA NFC MVSDC DC AFC Crimson's Twenty Gauge Ruger SH CGC. Ruger is the highest Nationally titled Vizsla in history and competes both in the field and show ring. Jeff has finished the hunt training for Gauge is he is doing a great job finding and retrieving the birds at Sellwood. Gauge is also house trained and loves spending time with us in the house. His only bad habit......he has to sit in Jeff's lap -laid back in the recliner- while they relax watching tv at night. If you'd like to have Gauge please call Jeff at 256-404-1384 for more information.
Let us know if you'd like to add a vizsla puppy to your home. Please read below for more info.
We want to know where our pups go and what type of home/lifestyle they will have, so if you decide you'd like to place a deposit for a Wingshot puppy we ask that you share your information with us. We do not mean to be nosey, but a vizsla is not a match for every home. We do not accept a deposit without knowing information about the new owner...example: household info, plans for the puppy, your experience with raising a puppy, etc.
The price for all of our puppies is: $900, for either a male or a female. We require a $200. deposit to reserve a new puppy and this deposit is non refundable unless there are not enough pups born to fulfill your reservation. The balance is due when you pick up your puppy. For deposits we accept personal check, bank certified check or paypal. For the balance: if you are picking up your puppy at our home, payment can be cash, personal check, or bank certified check. If you want to make the final payment by paypal please add 3% to the amount due to cover the paypal fee. If we deliver your puppy, please make payment in cash. Your check can be made payable to "Wingshot Kennels". The mailing address is on the "home page" of this website.
I take photo's of each litter when they are born and as they grow and post them on facebook or email the photos to the new owner's at various times to keep you updated on their progress.
Our sire is Mingo; he has an excellent pedigree with many field CH titles in his background. Jeff takes him hunting at Sellwood (local hunting preserve) and he does a great job. Mingo's hips have been certified with OFFA & received a rating of excellent. Mingo has also been DNA'd with AKC.
You can see Mingo, Gauge and our adult vizsla females on the "about us" page.
All of our vizsla's are AKC registered & all litters are AKC registered. All puppies will have an individual AKC limited registration application for you to complete , this is a non-breeding registration. All puppies have their tails docked and dewclaws removed. The pups have their 1st shot & several dewormings before going to your home. The puppies are handled, played with and talked to daily and have visits from the 3 older grandgirls.
We provide you with a "puppy packet" which contains various bits of information...examples: information on feeding; vaccinations; disease; food, plants & things to avoid; etc. We also provide a health guarantee which covers a 26 month hip guarantee and provide you with a record of the puppy's shot and deworming dates.
Most of our puppies are picked up in person at our home at 7 weeks old. For the pick up day we schedule each new owner a time to come in the order of your reservation number. We try to make this day pleasant for everyone so if you will be picking up your puppy we ask that you clear your calendar for this day. We understand that things come up sometimes, but if you can't be here on pickup weekend, we do charge an extra $50 to hold your puppy longer.
If you can't come in person, we can air ship your puppy..... the cost of shipping is not included in the price of the puppy. The total approximate cost of air travel is $375. The total cost of air shipping varies a bit depending on which airline we are able to use (99% of the time we use Delta Pet First). The total shipping cost includes the flight & insurance, travel crate, vet visit to obtain a health certificate which is required to fly, and travel to the Atlanta airport. We put some type of padding or pillow in the travel crate along with some chew goodies. Puppies must be 8 weeks old to fly.
If you'd prefer your puppy not to fly, we can sometimes make arrangements to deliver the puppy to you. The cost of delivery depends on how far we travel.
We suggest that you "do your homework" and read several books and/or internet articles about the vizsla breed so you will have an idea of what to expect from your new vizsla. If you know someone that already has a vizsla please talk with them and get some 1st hand information. You might also visit a local dog park and talk with any vizsla owners. A vizsla is very active and is a "velcro dog"; they require daily personal attention and exercise. If this will be your 1st time owning a puppy, please read a training book. For housebreaking, we suggest the crate training method.
