A Bit of Canadian Field Trial History
SOURCE: This is one of the many items from the Charles/Millicent/Joan Hunt Collection
In late December of 2015 I was asked & granted permission to print this Vizslak page in a Canadian newsletter. Recently I was contacted by someone who had just blasted me on her Facebook page for plagiarism, before contacting me privately, demanding that I explain why I copied verbatim HER article and never asked her permission to print or to change three words.
* I DID NOT USE ANY OTHER DOCUMENT THAN THE ONE I FOUND IN THE HUNT COLLECTION. WHEN I PUT THIS PAGE UP, I DID NOT KNOW THE DOCUMENT EXISTED ANYWHERE ELSE.
* This Vizslak page has been here since 2009 & dedicated to the memory of my mother who died in January of 2009. I also lost a favorite dog two weeks shy of his sixteenth birthday, as well as my heart Vizsla club in that same year. I was busy grieving and had three historical Vizsla websites that I was designing. I had no time for anyone but what I was trying to accomplish.
* I have the Collections of nearly all of the American Vizsla pioneers in my possession. There are boxes and boxes of genuine treasures. There is no reason for me to take someone else's work, especially at that time.
* The article's author seemed to think that because i used similar language in the source sentence below the graphic proved that i copied her article, changing three words. I have always used a sentence format to source documents from the Collections in all three of my websites.
* IF I had seen the prescribed article, I would have been delighted to credit them and put their entire article up on my website with full credits.But I didn't see it and never knew that any corresponding article had been written.
* The below is not my idea of an article. When people write, they usually compose more than one or two sentences of their own.
* I am not shy about bringing people into the research sister fold and have made treasured family around the world.
* I thought this author was one of those sisters which is the only reason i changed the sourcing. My making that change to mention the Canadian Archives seemed to convince two people that I was admitting to guilt, which is why I took down the credit given to the Canadian Archives as I used ONE document, mine.
* Instead of a "please and thank you" like i should have gotten from the very beginning, there was further escalation. I was contacted again and CC'd the supposed author demanding that I now give full credit to the article or remove the page immediately.
* It was later alleged original article must have been included in the Hunt Collection (which I acquired in June 2006) and not credited to the true author. Joan Hunt didn't have any more knowledge of this copyrighted article, than i did, let alone included it in those dirty, filthy boxes.
* There was no article in Joan's boxes by this woman or any modern day Vizsla person.
* I never saw the article, including when it was posted on Facebook because by then I didn't care what this person had written, the same person who when I asked her recently for help, the reply was that they were not a writer.
* All that has been proven is I copy text accurately from uncopyrighted documents. Thank the government who has spent a million and a half training me to type.
* I do not care who else in the world has a copy of that document. It is good that multiple copies of historical documents exist.
* And.. If anybody bothered to look at this website or my no longer websites vizslavizipedia.Com and vizslavizsmithsonian.Com they would see I source similarly to all the Collections on all of my pages.
* So can I now expect people around the world making the claim that I stole their work because I stole their original sentence in the article/book whenever, where ever?
* What do I have to gain from stealing from Canada. I have spent years and hours helping every single person who asked and many who didnt, including the article's author, my help.
* Currently this page is not mainstream linked. But it can be.
* If I want unnecessary drama, there are places in America for me to go to.
Re: That Hunt Collection
I visited Joan Hunt in 2006 picking up her things. Temps that day were high. I and my dogs were overheating. I started pulling dogs and crates out. Joan insisted on holding Delta which struck fear into my heart because the girl could fly Andre the Giant like a kite. And what she likes she tries to mash slamming her head against your head. I looked and there sat Delta quietly looking adoring into Joan's eyes. Delta knew this was the mother of the Vizsla in North America. I left with two small boxes that were jam packed full covered with a half inch of petrified dust. Before I brought the boxes inside, I bombed for boll weevils, they were that dirty. I started pulling document after document after document out. I felt like Jesus at the river feeding the poor, there were so many documents. Those boxes hadn't been examined in decades and held no dated material after 1970.
This is MY website and I am writing MY history books and I give credit when I use sources. I am guilty of a lot of things but trying to hurt someone by not mentioning their name or stealing their work just did not happen. It is a shame that someone had to go make history about them, instead of about the dogs below.
Have a good Vizsla Day.
May the V FORCE be with you as it certainly is with me.

The below information is transcribed from an unmarked, uncopyrighted catalog from the first field trial ever held by a Canadian Vizsla Club on September 26 and 27, 1964. It took place in Craigdhu, Alberta.
On the cover of the catalogue is a photo of Bakony Csikcsicsoi Laci (Aprod Prucsok ex Arokparti Parazs), grandson of Perpetual Hungarian Champion with Oak Wreath and International Champion Csikcsicsoi Aprod.
Officers of the club at the time of the trial were Phil Wright, Allen H. Todd, E.C. Lattin, A. Kemenes-Kettner, Marvin Hill, Kurt K. Armier, E.E. Klein, Joe G. Pellerin and B. von Schuckman.
Puppy, Derby, Shooting Dog and Open All-Age stakes were held. Following the Puppy stake, the club held a conformation sanction show, which included the addition of a class open only to dogs entered in the field trial. That evening, a social was held at the Tokoy Hungarian restaurant in Calgary.
Entrants were as follows:
Ripp Barat’s Dandy, Paloma Barat, Ripp Barat’s Apache, Liz Selle Barat, Ripp Barat’s Rippy and Silver Cholla Cactus (all from Ripp Barat ex Sissy Selle);
Bakony Csikcsicsoi Boris (Aprod Prucsok ex Arokparti Parazs);
Bakony Betyar Fruzsi (Aprod Prucsok ex Golden Blitz Bakony);
Miss Golden Firebird;
Bakony Balatoni Kende, Bakony Balatoni Tucsok, Bakony Balatoni Katka, and Bakony Balatoni Keve (all from Devecseri Somloi Pushi ex Egerhegyi Tincsi);
Kennessie Karl (Agres Z. Povazia ex Boreas Papa Czilla);
Chico of Nikki’s Arco (Nikki’s Arco ex Alena of Bayview);
Adda’s Csikcsicsoi Kicsi and Adda’s Csikcsicsoi Hanna (both from Aprod Prucsok ex Bakony Csikcsicsoi Arvam);
Rigo v. Klein (Tito of Shirbob ex Donna Selle);
Agres Z. Povazia (Ficko XXX ex Astra Olga);
Egerhegyi Tincsi (Csikcsicsoi Aprod ex Divat Tucsok);
Ajax Olca (Bes Olca ex Donna Z. Zlatnej);
Csic-Ked’s Jodie (Csisckas of Goncoltanya ex Kedves v Hunt);
Tansy Schloss Loosdorf (Gustaf Schloss Loosdorf ex Storm’s Lady Fletcher Celle);
Devecseri Somloi Pushi (Aprod Prucsok ex Bakony Somloi Szende);
The winner of the Derby stake was presented with the “Mega Memorial Trophy”, donated by Mr. E. C. Lattin, Whitehorse, Yukon, who was the second Vice President of the club at the time.
The event must have been a success, for in the May 1965 issue of the club’s newsletter, Vizsla Views, the second annual field trial was announced, to be held on the last weekend in September, north of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
