Seven clean runs. Eight opportunities. One extraordinary Stella. 🔥

Stella—AGMCH Dreamvizslas Stolen Ride—had another exceptional weekend at the Alberta Kennel Club agility trials, delivering seven clean runs out of eight and multiple class wins.

For those newer to agility, a “clean run” means successfully navigating the entire course without faults and within the permitted time. At the Master level, courses are fast and technical, requiring accuracy, communication and split-second teamwork between dog and handler.

One clean run is worth celebrating. Seven out of eight reflects remarkable consistency, training and trust.

Performance sports such as agility can be especially valuable for a breed like the Vizsla. Bred to work closely with people, Vizslas are athletic, intelligent and highly connected to their handlers. They need more than physical exercise alone—they thrive when they are also given meaningful work that engages their minds.

Agility provides:

• A constructive outlet for energy and natural athleticism
• Mental challenges that build focus and problem-solving skills
• Greater confidence when dogs learn to navigate new obstacles
• Conditioning, coordination and body awareness
• A stronger partnership built through clear communication and trust

Not every Vizsla needs to compete, but every Vizsla benefits from having something purposeful to do. That might be agility, field work, scent detection, obedience, tracking, rally or another activity suited to the individual dog. The goal is not simply to make them tired; it is to help them become confident, fulfilled and capable partners.

Stella is currently Canada’s #1 Vizsla in CKC agility, and weekends like this demonstrate why. More than the wins, we are proud of her reliability, enthusiasm and unmistakable joy every time she steps to the line.

Purpose. Poise. Performance—and in Stella’s case, plenty of airtime. ❤️
