The long awaited litter whelped November 5. The puppies spent their first week of life at the Vizsla Nationals where their grandmother won the 2011 National Championship.

Re: New puppies whelped
There are 8 total and I don't know yet. The puppies will be tested and then they will be matched with their owner.
The way I figure it is that the breeder knows alot about me and is the one spending the time with the pups. Who better to match pup to owner than the breeder?

Awww puppies!!!! I love puppies!!! 
A1, if you know and trust your breeder's instincts, then I totally agree with your assessment. We allowed our breeder to suggest the dog which was most like the traits we wanted and are overjoyed at how Ozkar turned out. He is all the things we expected and more. We wanted his daddy's looks and a similar nature. He turned out exactly like him.
Try and encourage the breeder to take as many litter pics as possible. I only have one or two of Ozkar while with his siblings and mum and wish I had more.

Picked up our new little guy yesterday. 5 hour drive. He barely fit in the cat carrier we borrowed to bring him home in :-\
Had the normal expected dog dominance encounter once he entered the house. Quest certainly showed him who the boss is and of course the pup was terrified. Side benefit was that the puppy has already begun bonding with me. Have the next couple of days off so that should be mostly sorted out by the time I return to work.
Very surprised that he made it through the first night without an accident. Not expecting our luck to hold but we can hope
Oddly, I haven't taken any pics yet.
Happy New Year!

Aimless1,
2012 is going to be a great puppy year. It's been a joy reading your posts in 2011 as your got closer and closer to picking up your new boy.
Quest , after he gives the pup the rules of the house, will love his new play friend.
All the best for the happiest of new years.
Be looking for a picture soon.

Still haven't taken any pics. Must be something wrong with me. I was like this with my children too.
I think we settled on a name. We went down to pick him up thinking Koda would be it. After seeing him at the breeders and again at home today that clearly doesn't fit. We've already gotten a taste of his scenting ability, speed, gait and intelligence. We're pretty settled on Nitro for his call name. My oldest daughter saw him tonight and thought the name fit him well.
Have to wonder what Nitro is thinking. We kidnap him, travel for 5 hrs, he gets beat on by a black bear (Quest the Gordon), sees the 3 neighbor kids today and 3 bichon friese (sp?), then my 3 grandchildren and a Golden and a cat. Tonight and tomorrow we are under a winter storm warning expecting 6-12 inches of snow after picking him up with the temperature in the 40s. Can't be easy being a puppy in a new home.
I'll try to get some pics tomorrow and post them. We all like puppy pics!

Love the name... Love the pics... He is adorable!! ;D
I'm with you, A1, wondering what Nitro is thinking. Really, any little puppy, taken away from his Mom and littermates, kidnapped by an alien species as it were, has to be trying to figure out what it's all about!
I know he will be getting lots of love!!
