I was looking forward to introducing both Raany and his mate, Madison III, as it is obvious they were dearly loved by their families.

RAANY

Raany had a simple name with a lot of bravo around it.

He was born in Canada on December 12, 1995. He died in October of 2004 at the tender age of 8 years old. You will see as we continue on that his owners at Busch Vizslas were very involved in field trials and very proud of their little guy, he has quite a lot of accomplishments, which will be listed below.

Let's go ahead and get his AKC listing down:

FC stands for FIELD CHAMPION. That sounds very impressive to me. AKC tells us what that means, here

AFC stands for AMATEUR FIELD CHAMPION. Ok, AKC, defines that here

And then that SH at the end? That's for SENIOR HUNTER (AKC says this means qualifying scores at 5 licensed or member tests).

DNA pretty much means, we know as Oscar always says about Oso, "He's a vizsla!"

Now what does Busch Vizslas say about Oso's Great Grandfather?

That sounds very nice to me. I love hearing about the temperaments.

Are we ready for the accolades? Ok... scroll down to the bottom. I'm having formatting issues, so down they go. For Raany's pedigree, look here.

My-T-Hi North Starr

(the first of our group with no picture - there will be more)

Who were you Miss North Starr?

***And just as a reminder, Mr. Raany paired up Madison III to make Shiloh's Rommel Blitzkrieg who paired up with Shiloh's Happy Go Lucky to make Oso's birth daddy - Union Jack!

As of March 2007, Raany is #4 for the all-time top field producing sires in vizslas with eight field champions to his credit.
