Bridget Nielsen is a professional trainer for all versatile pointing breeds, and is a breeder, owner, trainer and handler of some of the top Vizslas in the country. She expects the Vizsla to have natural pointing instinct, a natural desire to retrieve, and a love of water. Bridget tested three dogs at the NAVHDA Invitational last month, and discusses her journey with those great dogs!
