Jazzan Vizslas is a small
hobby kennel located in central Ohio. From our first
breeding, our goal has always been to produce Vizslas that
combine the best traits of conformation, hunting instincts,
health and temperament, with temperament being of utmost
importance.
Jazzan
Vizslas began in the spring of 1986, when I saw my first
Vizsla. Of course I didn’t know what that beautiful dog
was, but I was so taken with its looks, elegance, and regal
bearing that I had to find out. “A Vizsla”, I was told by
its owner. What that was, I still had no idea, but the seed
was sown. Within a year, I had my first, “Jazz”. She
became a Champion with her Companion Dog title. But more
importantly, she was the most perfect dog I’d ever had.
Friendly, loving, sweet. Beautiful, intelligent, goofy. We
were hooked! Of course, we had to have another one just
like her…and Jazzan Vizslas was born.
We
traveled to California to see our first Nationals, in
October of 1989. There we met a number of warm wonderful
people who were as friendly as their dogs. After meeting
Marilee and Bob Sloan at the Field events, we decided that
Jazz should be bred to their handsome dog named “Cash” (CH
Camarily Sand Dollar). He was sweet, loving, affectionate,
and ‘groaned’ when you scratched his sides and back, just
like Jazz! That union blessed us with 11 puppies, of which
we kept 2. “Elling”, was the first born, and “Savoy” the
last.

The “Faczan” connection to
our pedigrees.
When I
bred Jazz to Cash I had no idea that I would be doing this
as a life long avocation. My best friend was starting her
career as a professional handler and had the kennel name of
Faczan. She offered to show any puppies from my litter at
no cost, if I would use her kennel name. This arrangement
continued until I felt it was time to have my own identity.
I wanted to honor my foundation Jazz, and chose the name
“Jazzan”.
To
date, I’ve produced 4 generations of American and Canadian
Conformation Champions, Junior, Senior, and Master Hunter titled dogs,
Obedience and Agility titled. I’ve donated to Pilot Dogs
for the Blind and produced a Certified Hearing Assistance
Dog (see Tyger’s page).
I've
been aided along the way by knowledgeable breeders who've
taken the time to answer questions and help whenever
possible. I continue to respect the integrity,
research, hard work and passion that gave us the breed we
enjoy today. My goal is to continue to breed the best
individuals possible to further improve the Vizsla we love
so much.
