First female Grand Champion Vizsla title in Australia

Grand Ch Hubertus Hearts On Fire

This conformation title was introduced 1st January 1998, to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of show dogs.  For the Grand Champion title

1000 challenge points are required, 10 times more than for a Champion title.

 There are 22 Hungarian Vizsla Grand Champions in Australia.

 

Australian Point System (from 1st January 2000) - Dogs over the age of six months, both champions and non-champions compete for points. Challenge points are awarded according to the number of dogs present in the same sex, eg if there is only one dog present, it receives 6 points, if a total of 4 dogs are competing, the winner receives 9 points (1 point for each dog defeated). The winner dog & bitch then compete for the Best Of Breed and the overall winner receives points for each exhibit, eg if there are 4 dogs and 4 bitches at the show the BOB winner would get 13 points. This score replaces the Challenge points. The opposite sex's Challenge points remain unchanged. The Best Of Breed winner then competes against the other gundogs for the Best in Group, which is worth 25 points, the maximum awarded at any show. The Best In Group winner then competes for Best In Show, no additional points for this award.

 

Prior to 31st December 1999, Challenge points were awarded only for the same sex section. No extra points were awarded for Best Of Breed.

 

Champion title (from 1st January 2000) - 100 Challenge points required, of which 25 points must be gained after the age of 12 months.

Prior to 31st December 1999, - there was no age requirement and a Champion title could be achieved with the 100 points gained, even at 6 1/2 months of age.

AUST.CH & NZ GRD CH RUBY ROZE OF SZEP-ALLAT(NZ)

"Roze"

 

S: NZ Ch Hubertus High Flyer QC (Imp Aus)

D: NZ Ch Hubertus Claim To Fame (Imp Aus)

Owned by the late Jan Edwards – Featherstone, New Zealand

 

Whelped: 21-05-1995      Grand Champion title gained: 15-03-1998

 

"Roze" deserves to be mentioned on this page. Although she was not bred by us, she was bred from two of our exports, who we sent as a breeding pair to New Zealand.

 

Roze has created history for the breed in New Zealand, being the first and only Grand Champion Hungarian Vizsla to date. She attained her title under 3 years of age. The requirements for the Grand Champion title in NZ - are 50 Challenges and 3 Best In Show (all breeds).

"Roze" proved her qualities in Australia as well. While Jan and "Roze" staying with us in 2000, she achieved her Australian Champion title in 5 weeks, winning BIG at her first show. She is a multi Best In Show –All Breeds & Specialty and multi NZ Nationals BOB, also a Royal CC winner.

Jan sadly passed away in 2001. She was a dedicated breeder and the leading figure for the breed in NZ. Over her 25 years' involvement with the breed she imported several Hungarian Vizslas from Australia, and we were very pleased that she achieved so much success with our Hubertus bloodlines. Jan repeated this combination three times providing winning progeny for several breeders -  Gamefinder Kennels - Australia, Barat & Magyar Kennels – New Zealand and Paradox Kennel - USA.
