CLUB
INFORMATION
Vizsla Canada Inc. is a non-profit
organization formed in late 1992 to promote both the Smooth and Wirehaired Vizsla breed
and to bring together Vizsla owners and clubs across the country. We were recognized
and approved by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) in April, 1995 and incorporated on March
11, 1999.
The objects and purpose of Vizsla Canada are
to encourage, improve, promote and protect purebred dogs and more specifically the Vizsla
breeds (Smooth and Wirehaired) by:
- developing the Vizsla breeds to the highest standards possible always
keeping foremost that the breed is meant to be versatile
- educate club members and the general public in the benefits of
purebred dogs and the Vizsla in particular
- encourage participation and promote interest in all types of dog
related activities, including Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) sanctioned and licensed events,
club sponsored activities, field, tracking, therapy and other
endeavors which promote the
breeds' versatility
- promote, protect and publicize the Vizsla breeds
- maintain and assist in interpreting the breed standards
- hold, where authorized, CKC licensed and sanctioned events
appropriate for the Vizsla breeds.
Board meetings are held quarterly in January, April,
July, and October. The club set a date in October as Annual General
Meeting, if at all possible.
The club's fiscal year is the calendar year. The Board is composed of a President,
Vice-President, Recording Secretary, Correspondence Secretary, Treasurer and Regional
Directors. To comply with CKC national club status, the Club must have Regional Directors
appointed or elected in at least three of the following five regions: 1) British Columbia;
2) Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba); 3) Ontario; 4) Quebec; and 5)
Atlantic Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland).
The Club produces a high quality, bimonthly newsletter to keep its
members informed of breed activities, news, statistics, health information and other
noteworthy items. Contributions from members are always appreciated!
The Club supports research and educational work and efforts to
reduce, eliminate or prevent undesirable or detrimental congenital traits within the
breed. Vizsla Canada would be grateful if, along with their application forms,
members
would send in copies of their dogs' pedigrees in addition to hip dysplasia, elbow, and eye
certificate numbers issued by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) in the
United States or any Canadian Veterinary College.
The Club has also started an archives program and welcomes
donations of historical materials and artifacts on the Vizsla, particularly as the smooth
and wirehaired breeds relate to Canada and Canadians!
Our membership year runs from January 1st to December 31. All new
members are welcomed to Vizsla Canada with a New Member package. Applicants must
apply for either Provisional membership (for individuals over 18 years of age) or Junior
membership (between 10 and 18 yr.) Provisional applicants may also apply either as
a Single ($30/ year) or Family ($40). Family memberships are restricted to two
individuals, over the age of 18, living at the same address.
