Some dogs live a long life and then there are those who have been created so special that they don't need to be with us very long to make their dramatic impact.  Elliot was one of those one in a million, diamond crusted "specials".

Confirmation, obedience and loving companion, there was not one area where he did not shine.   His achievements in conformation speak for themselves.

He easily achieved his CCD with two of the three judges stating he was the best working dog at that level that they had judged.

The Companion:  What love he gave, that mischievous yodel he would give, sometimes while waiting to be judged in the group line up if he thought it was taking too long or other times for the sheer joy of being with us.  The bouncing bark as he announced his arrival at his local park at 6am in the morning, diving into the forbidden garage for a spot of "catch me" when you have many other dogs to get sorted and no time before going out, the head on  your knee when working on the computer and the perfectly timed gentle lick of your face just when you needed it.

Elliot owned the world nothing and we owe him a lifetime of gratitude for showing us how wonderful a "special" Vizsla can be.

Rest free of pain next to your dad, Bogart.
