Yara
BISS GCH CH Moonlight Easy to Feel JH NA Prize I (112)
Best in Specialty Show & Dual Pointed
"Yara" is our keeper puppy from the All The Feels Litter (Madsen x Arielle). She is all we had hoped for, and more!
- Multiple Gun Dog FT placements (Majors) + retrieving credits
- Dual Pointed at 11 months old
- AKC Champion at 12 months old with four Majors
- Prize 1 (perfect score 112 Points) in NAVHDA Natural Ability
- Best in Specialty Show (BISS) Winner - Vizsla Club of Southern CA
With COVID shutting down the dog shows, Yara started off 2020 competing in Field Trials, a new venue for all of us. She started running in Puppy and Derby stakes and was regularly picking up 2nd places, this is a puppy who never saw a horse before and ran off horseback like it was the most normal thing in the world. She ended in the Top Ten, as the #7 Puppy/Derby dog through June 30, 2022 when she aged out at 2 years old.
She won 1st Place in Puppy at a 2 Point Stake (14 Starters) in May 2021, to earn the first of her Field Trial points and make her Dual Pointed (Field and Show). What a thrill!
She earned her Junior Hunter (JH) title at 7 mos. old with four (4) straight passes at a Double Double HT with several 10's and compliments from the judges.
She earned a perfect score of 112 for a Prize 1 in NAVHDA Natural Ability at the SoCal NAVHDA Club in October 2021.
Yara hit the show ring in April 2021 (ten months old) and completed her AKC Championship in a flash! Her 1st time in the ring, she won a MAJOR, the 2nd time another MAJOR, and the 3rd time she went Winners Bitch with her brother taking Winners Dog / Best of Winners! Her 4th time in the ring, she went Best of Breed for her 3rd MAJOR! A few weeks later, she won her 4th MAJOR to finish her title in a handful of shows from the Bred By Exhibitor class.
Her second weekend out as a Special (March 2022) she won Best in Specialty Show (BISS) at the Vizsla Club of Southern Specialty -- defeating nearly 50 Vizslas entry including Top Ranked and MBIS/MBISS winning Specials! Thank you Liz Jordan-Nelson for showing Yara!
Switching gears, Yara earned Leg #1 in of the AKC Temperament Test (ATT) in February 2022 with straight 4/4's.
She's also participated in FastCAT for the first time (May 2022) and loved it! We plan to get her BCAT title at the next event.
In January 2023, she started Field Trialing with Patrick Clark of All Points Birddogs . She's made quite the impression getting around clean in multiple horseback trials, including the SCVC Desert Classic Regional Championship which is an hour-long stake earning herself a JAM. We are so proud of her! She's earned several gun dog placements, including retrieving credits.
Ever the overachiever, she whelped her first litter of TEN on May 28, 2023! The Wheelies (Scorch/Yara) are already making a name for themselves in the ring and field and we are so proud of this next generation promoting the dual dog.
Yara has tremendous interest in birds, a natural retrieve, more drive than you can imagine, and she loves swimming. We can't wait to see what this versatile girl does next!

Emery
GCH CH Moonlight It's Good to Be Me RN JH CGC TKN ATT TT NA Prize III
2022 VCA Top Producer
Superstar, baby “Emery” caught my eye early on. She is incredibly biddable and eager to please and is fearless and up for anything. Everyone loves her, and she loves everyone, dare I say she is a "favorite"?
Emery finished her Championship title at the tender age of 7 months old with three huge Majors won at Specialty/Supported Entries including a Bred By Exhibitor Group 2 at the competitive SoCal Sporting Dog Fanciers show!
Her first show at 6 months and 1 day was the SCVC Specialty winning a huge 5 Point Major! The next day she won her second Major (3 Points) at the Supported entry! A few weeks later she won her third Major (4 Points) at the Vizsla of SoCal Specialty! What a thrill to show this gorgeous puppy!
At 10 months old we started prep work for the NAVHDA Natural Ability Test and less than a month later, she received a Prize III, scoring 4’s (Prize I equivalent) in Nose, Cooperation and Water and the top rating in Pointing. The following month she completed her Junior Hunter Test with four straight passes!
She has a very soft mouth and a natural retrieve. She loves to carry a toy or object around ever since she was a young puppy. We have plans to go onto advanced Hunt Titles with her in 2024
Emery earned her American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (TT) title right before the AKC started offering the ATT (AKC Temperament Test). Her Rally Novice Obedience (RN) was earned in three straight passes.
At just over a year old, she had five (5) titles to her name! She finished her Grand Championship with five big GCH Majors (owner handled).
Emery whelped her first litter in 2020, and passed on her good looks, natural hunting ability and temperament to her progeny. We look forward to following their achievements!
In 2022, Emery was recognized as a VCA Top Producing Dam.

Arielle
GCHS CH Moonlight Easy to Keep JH CGC TKN ATT TT
2021 & 2022 VCA Top Producer
Sporting Group Winner
“Arielle” is from the Easy Riders Litter (Baci x Lyra) and due to a few mix-ups during Go Home Week it seems she was destined to stay. She is a perfect combination of her mother and father and I am very excited to see what she’ll offer the next generation at Moonlight Vizslas. The litter theme was the “Easy Riders” and “easy” was a requirement of the AKC Registered name, I think “easy to keep” is pretty darn accurate!
Arielle finished her Championship with three (3) huge 5 Point Majors from the Bred By Exhibitor Class and under a year old. Her wins include a Best of Breed from the classes at 6 months old at the prestigious Santa Barbara KC under Judge Don Sturz. Her other two 5 Point Majors were both at Specialty and Supported entries! Along the way, she won a Best Puppy in Sweepstakes at the Rio Salado Vizsla Club. As a Special, she won multiple Speciality Award of Merits (AOMs) and is a 5x Best of Opposite Sex winner at Specialty Shows.
She is a multiple Best of Breed and Group Placer, and Sporting Group Winner, and always owner handled! She won Best of Breed at the SCVC Supported Entry the weekend before the 2017 VCA Nationals in Del Mar, CA, defeating an entry of 85 Vizslas, and then went onto win the Sporting Group! What a huge thrill, and an unforgettable day!
Some of her stats:
- #13 Vizsla in Breed Rankings – 2017
- #10 Vizsla in Owner Handled Rankings – 2017 and 2018
- Top 30 Vizsla (Breed Rankings) - 2018 and 2019
She is a handful of Vizslas to earn the coveted AKC Silver Grand Championship title which she completed in 2018, at 3 1/2 years old. Her total lifetime GCH Points were just shy of 300. Her NOHS (Owner Handled) Lifetime points reached 700 (Silver Level).
She has the perfect combination of smarts and biddability that makes her "up for anything". She is a show machine and can turn it an all day without missing a beat. In personality, she reminds me of her Grandma Csilla in that she has a bulletproof and faultless temperament. Arielle is a joy to live with! She most recently was a therapy dog to college students in the LA area who needed canine comfort before taking an exam.
She is an absolute beast in the field, impressing judges with her drive and run and earned her Junior Hunter (JH) title with minimal bird exposure and four straight passes. She also has both the AKC Temperament (ATT) and American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (TT) titles.
Arielle left us on June 11, 2020, and we are forever heartbroken. Her one and only litter serves as her lasting legacy, and we are so grateful for the All The Feels puppies.
In both 2021 and 2022, she was recognized by the VCA as a Top Producing Dam.

Cordie
CH Moonlight's Eat Your Heart Out RN JH CGCA TKI ATT TT
The name “Cordelia” means “heart” and ties back to her registered name and litter theme from our Shout Out Litter (Beckett x Zene).
"Cordie" stole my heart early on – and around 5 weeks old I knew she was destined to stay. One of her nicknames is “small but mighty” because she is a petite 21″ tall and 35 lbs. Her movement is a balanced and floating single-track with beautiful reach and drive, a correct tail set and she has a pretty and feminine head.
She finished her Championship with the majority of points from the Bred By Exhibitor Class (including both Majors) and had several Reserve Winners at Specialities and Supported entries.
Her temperament is best described as perfection, she is eager to please, loves to cuddle but can turn it on for the birds or whatever I ask of her. She passed her Canine Good Citizen Advanced (CGCA) and with flying colors and earned her Trick Dog Novice (TKN) and AKC Championship (CH) on the same day! She earned her Junior Hunter (JH) in four straight passes with limited bird exposure. She also has both the AKC Temperament (ATT) and American Temperament Test Society, Inc. (TT) titles.
Cordie loves Nose Work and is training for advanced Obedience titles.
She is presently participating in the Paws-To-Share program in LA as therapy dog where she is working towards her AKC THD title.
Bred once, she is a fantastic producer with two Champions who are titled in multiple venues. In 2020, these littermates (Axel & Aya) won the Majors (7 months old) at the Kennel Club of Palm Springs / SCVC Supported Entry. This was following in the paw-prints of Cordie and brother, Oliver who won the Majors in 2014!

Zene
GCH CH Moonlight's Rock'n Ow't RN JH CGC ROM
VCA Registry of Merit
"Zene" was our keeper puppy from our 2010 Rockstar Litter (Rocky/Csilla). She was all we had hoped for -- and more!
Zene completed her AKC Conformation Championship with a 4 Point Major; earning the majority of her points from the Bred-By-Exhibitor class. The day after finishing her title, she took back-to-back Best of Breed wins for two 5 Point Grand Champion Majors, and she made the cut both days in the Sporting Group. In short order she finished her Grand Championship with FIVE majors!
As a baby puppy, she won back-to-back Best Puppy in Sweepstakes from the 6-9 month puppy class! Zene has also dabbled in Obedience and she has one Beginner Novice (BN) Leg, and earned her Rally Novice (RN) with little effort. Prior to those she easily earned Canine Good Citizen title.
Her passion, though, is BIRDS! She is birdy can be and has a tremendous prey drive (loves rabbits and lizards when birds aren't around). At 10.5 months old and owner handled she earned her Junior Hunter (JH) title, and she could easily get advanced Hunt Titles given the time and training to do so.
Besides her good looks and biddability, Zene has a wonderful temperament, with an up for anything attitude. She is a joy to live with and loves sitting upright in my lap (on her back) and being held. She is my first home grown girl and I could not be happier with her.
She is a Top Producing Dam with seven (7) AKC Champion/Grand Champions who hold titles in multiple venues which helped her earn the prestigious Registry of Merit (ROM) from the VCA.
She's successfully passed on her good looks and temperament to her progeny (and her good health). She is a natural brood bitch and patient mother.
At 13 1/2 years old she barely has any grey, and while she has slowed down on lizard hunting she still has plenty of spunk! We love you Zene-Bikini!

Lyra
GCH CH Moonlight N Tamaron When Stars Align CGC TKN
Baby “Lyra” (lie-rah) is Csilla’s daughter from her final litter, and it seems she was meant to stay with us. Lyra keeps me entertained every day and she is one of the most charismatic and lovable Vizslas I've ever met.
She was a very fun girl to show once she matured and she finished her Championship title in short order with four (4) Majors from the Bred By Exhibitor Class. Her wins including a Specialty Winners Bitch, Grand Sweepstakes Winner at the prestigious Palm Springs Kennel Club Shows, Best of Opposite in Sweepstakes and she earned five (5) Bred By Exhibitor Group Placements!
As a finished Champion, she went onto complete her Grand Championship title with five (5) Majors in only three weekends including Best of Breed wins (defeating Specials). She earned an Award of Merit at the Vizsla Club of SoCal Specialty show (owner handled).
With minimal bird exposure she picked up a Junior Hunter Pass as a puppy. She easily completed her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Trick Dog (TKN) titles.
Bred once, her progeny includes: two Champions (Grand Champion Silver, Group Winner, Multiple Group Placer and Top 20 Vizsla 2017-18), two others are AKC show pointed (Major). Her two Champion progeny earned five 5 Point Majors on the road to their Championship titles (all from the Bred By Class).
Life with Lyra is never boring and she has the most energy of our entire pack!

Csilla
CH Tamaron Okos Piros Csillag CD RN JH CGC ROM
High in Trial
VCA Registry of Merit
The name “Csilla” (See-lah) means “star” in Hungarian and her registered name means “bright red star”. Csilla is our first Vizsla -- who was supposed to be a pet male according to our questionnaire, but we ended up with a show female! Adventuring into the world of AKC sports has resulted in lifelong friendships and we are hooked on the breed’s intelligence, athleticism and versatility. Becoming a breeder was a natural progression. Csilla is our foundation bitch for Moonlight Vizslas.
Csilla is a beautiful and extremely feminine girl with a heart of gold. She has a stable, sweet and even temperament and gets along with everyone, dogs and humans. As my boss once told me, “I don’t even like dogs, but I like your dog [Csilla].” She is a favorite wherever she goes for her friendliness, exuberance and “up for anything” attitude. Csilla’s temperament is “bulletproof” as verified by vets, trainers, handlers, house-guests and honestly and anyone who has come in contact with her. Csilla is a joy to live with.
She finished her AKC Conformation title (CH) with three Majors and easily finished her Junior Hunter (JH) and Rally Novice (RN) and Novice Obedience (CD) titles. She went High in Trial (top score) at the 2013 SCVC Obedience/Rally Trial.
Csilla’s 4-generation pedigree reflects a well-rounded and accomplished list of Vizslas who excelled in Conformation, Hunting, and Agility. Csilla is a grand-daughter of the top winning owner handled Vizsla in the history of the breed with with 14 Best in Show wins; 14x BIS 2x Nt’l BISS MBISS CH Russet Leather Warrior’s Mark JH ROM HOF “Bismark”. Her pedigree also includes many other distinguished Vizslas known simply by their “call names”; Secret, Charger, Calla, Danny, Gator and Cutter.
Csilla is a proven producer and passes on her wonderful temperament, talent and beauty to her progeny. In 2014, she received the Registry of Merit (ROM) from the Vizsla Club of America for being an outstanding producer.
Csilla left us on August 5, 2019, after more than fourteen years in our lives. Her lasting legacy lives on in her progeny and we are so thankful for so many wonderful memories with this life changing dog.
