Cuki, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cuki
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Hungarian Vizsla
Home: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
 
   This is Sugar Cukor (Cuki for short) and she is a Hungarian Vizsla. Cuki is not only an amazing dog, but a best friend to her owner. She is sweet, and very willing to please. Cuki came from her country as a Hungarian import, picked for specialized breeding, looks, intelligence, and out of nine puppies, was the only female! I call her the pick of the litter. She is double registered through both AKC and MEOE (Hungarian Kennel Club). She arrived in the states at 11 weeks old. Since then, Cuki and I have been to California, Arizona, the Nevada mountains, and Red Rock national park outside Las Vegas. She also took a trip to the Netherlands with me for three weeks (the flight over took a bathroom break in Alaska), and loved every minute of it. She has as many stamps on her passport as her owner.

    Not only does she compete in Agility for fun, but she's won Novice JWW classes as well as placing in Gamblers events. Plan is to have her move up in higher classes this year. She also knows a wide variety of tricks, including simple ones from sit, shake, and catch food, to more advanced tricks such as spin (both left and right), stand on command, bow (verbally and if someone bows to her), and high step walking. She's gone out hunting a couple times with a Falconer and his bird, and listens well to what is asked of her.

    She is fantastic with kids, and will allow them to bop her in the head, and pull on her ears if I don't catch them soon enough! She is trained to work with children, and has never jumped up on a kid! She is also smart around horses (after being trampled by one five weeks after getting her), and often goes over horse jumps while her owner rides over them, and on long trail rides. She's got the goofiest personality, and I'd do anything for this girl. I plan to create performances and show them to disabled children with her, as well as continuing competing.

    Here is a short video to a couple of her tricks from point to point, changing paws, waving, high walking (she's much better now, and will do it on her own when asked), and bowing. Enjoy!
