    Sylvie, wirehaired vizsla, nearly 4 years old. Even with a sub-average trainer, an exceptional dog.

    Great first post, though was it really 9 years since you joined? Would be good to hear some stories of Sylvie's adventures, especially how she developed her skills despite your claimed 'sub-average' training.

    The way I see it, it took me less than a decade to figure out how to use this forum, so I count that as a win. Sylvie has helped me find tahr/reds/fallow/pigs/wallabies/chamois (dead and alive), but my proudest moment was when my hat fell off and rolled several metres down a steep hill I had just walked up. I asked her to bring it to me. She walked down, picked it up and brought it to me. Had never taught her anything like that. Saved myself a few kilojoules that day.

    Yea mate, that's the one. Couldn't be happier with my choice of breed. Within 1 day of getting her (at 9 weeks) she would sit and lie down on demand. So incredibly teachable.

    True, one of the more teachable dogs I have owned and brilliant nose. Really hard to tire him out, he has enough energy for 2 dogs.
