2022 Midwest Vizsla Futurity

2022 Midwest Vizsla Futurity

Jim Edgar Panther Creek - Chad Chadwell

The 2022 Midwest Vizsla Futurity was held again at the Jim Edgar Panther Creek Grounds near

Athens, Illinois on Friday, March 25, 2022. Early Spring weather in Central Illinois is

sometimes challenging for both animals and humans, and this year was no exception.

Temperatures were good for running dogs with highs in the mid 50’s. However, recent rains

caused very soggy conditions for both dogs and horses and we had wind gusts to 30+ MPH.

We only had four dogs entered for this year’s event and hope and encourage Vizsla breeders to

nominate litters and re-nominate individual dogs to again build our entries. The MVF is a

chance to showcase the best in our breed on pristine grounds. We look forward to hosting more

dogs at this event going forward.

The 30 minute out-and-back course had large open fields where the judges could watch the dogs

stretch out and good objectives for watching bird work. All four entries ran a good race and all

had bird contacts.

The placements are as follows:

Winner - Shiloh’s Kato Mindiola owned by Kyle Mindiola and handled by Rob Tomczak.

Runner Up - Shiloh’s Copper owned by Jay Maher and handled by Rob Tomczak.

2nd Runner Up - Ck’s Ginger's Cowboy Waytt owned and handled by Ron Chenoweth.

3rd Runner Up - Vezeto’s Sunrise Over Quail Run owned and handled by Rodney Albin.
