Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Walden Vizslas located in Castle Rock, CO. Walden Vizslas breeds for sound temperament, conformation, and hunting. Our dogs excel in the show ring, field, agility and, obedience. But most importantly, they excel at being a loving member of the family.

Tad’s experience

  • About Tad

    I am the founder and CEO of FidoTV, a television network all about dogs. First and foremost, we are stewards of the breed. This means we place the importance of the dog and the breed above all else when breeding and selecting homes to place puppies. Vizslas are very particular with where they live, and a specific living arrangement is needed to ensure they excel at life.

  • What makes Tad’s program special

    We adhere to all ethical standards of the Vizsla Club of America and the American Kennel Club. This includes maintaining all health tests and records, and only breeding those dogs we know to be sound examples of the breed. Before placing a puppy in a home, we must make sure it is a good fit for one of our Vizslas. We also conduct face to face interviews and home inspections to know that the puppy is going to be in a safe and loving home.

What's included

Enrichment and socialization

We follow a Puppy Culture procedure for socializing and training our pups. We introduce jungle gyms, climbing structures, and toys. We also start potty training. At five weeks, we have friends take a puppy out for a day adventure to help socialize them. In addition, we implement a 100 person and 100 dog program in which we have the puppies interact with 100 people and 100 dogs in 60 days so that they are well adjusted to different people and dogs. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Potty Training, Socialized with Adult Dogs, Touch Desensitization, Toys, e.g. Ball, and Structures, e.g. Climbing.
