My name is Annie and this is my dog Nala, a 2 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. I have also got a lovely 7 year old Vizsla named Vinnie.

Nala embodies the very best traits of a GSP. She is highly environmentally driven, with a beautiful stalk and point, and a genuine love for her work. At home, she is a true Velcro dog who enjoys nothing more than ending the day cuddled on the sofa. Nala has taught me the importance of working with a dog’s genetics to build a strong, trusting relationship and ensure true fulfillment. As a sensitive girl, she has challenged me to grow, and everything I have learned from her has made me a better, more thoughtful handler. You will often meet Nala during 1:1 training sessions and classes as my stooge dog.

Vinnie is a bold and confident Vizsla, and I met him when he was three years old. Since then, we have been on a long and rewarding training journey together. Like Nala, he is a true Velcro dog and one of the most affectionate dogs I have ever met. He is highly motivated by food, toys, people—and life in general. Vinnie is the kind of dog who constantly challenges me, always seeming to stay one step ahead, and through him I have learned how to thoughtfully channel his drive into the right places.
