I spent a great December weekend at the Lockwood's. I was completely overwhelmed by the hospitality that I received. It was an experience that I will cherish and never forget. From the moment I arrived with my friend Swede I was welcomed in the home and treated like family. Donita was most gracious and showed a genuine interest in us. We were given a tour of her facilities and land with the bonus being a trip to her kennel to see the latest in Vizsla pups. After witnessing one of her seasoned pro's out in the field, Hunter, it was apparent that the dog was a hunting machine! I was totally impressed by the dogs working ability. Most noteworthy, these dogs are not only amazing hunters but they make fantastic pets. Every dog at the Lockwood's are treated as pets first and hunters second. Each dog is rotated and spends time inside the house to be spoiled and pampered. They are not treated as merely hunters but are very well socialized. If you want a top notch Vizsla the Lockwood's is second to none. Hunter turned it on out in the field and turned it off inside the house, becoming a very loving and gentle pet. I have always been a lab person but after viewing and seeing the working ability of these Vizslas I have to confess I have been won over by the breed. Enough said about the dogs. Next, the fields provide excellent cover and the birds fly wild. We were there to hunt Pheasant and Chukar but were pleasantly surprised to see large white tail deer and quail. The quail were so numerous we began to run out of shells and stopped shooting at them because we were in danger of running out of our precious pheasant loads. At one point I would estimate a covey of 60 birds got up and blackened the sky. The thing that I will remember the most about this wonderful trip was the caring and generous nature of Donita and of course, her great sense of humor. As soon as we finished our hunt we were pleasantly surprised to be treated to a bowl of split pea soup. I not only enjoyed a great hunting trip but the thing that I will remember the most about the experience is I feel I have a friend for life.

Sincerely,   Thanks Doug Voice

Hi Donita - Thought I'd send a picture of Hadlee and Braxtyn.  Back in April and May we put Hadlee(2 years) on a Diet and he lost 10 lbs.  We no longer call him Chubby.  He has maintained 55 lbs. since then but we have to keep him gated away from the other dogs during meal time so he doesn't cheat.  Braxtyn(1 year) is on the opposite side of the scale and is skin and bones.  He is a little taller than Hadlee but also weighs 55 pounds. Shannon call's him the long legged freak. They are both beautiful and healthy.  Thank you once again, for them.
Shannon and Leanne
