We chose this name because our breeding goal is to be the prototype of the vizsla standard.  Our hope is that when a Paradigm Vizsla is seen, the eye knows that it has seen in form what the standard describes in words.  We want to breed Hungarian vizslas to be what the standard calls for, nothing more, nothing less .

We are Mike and Meg Farmer who live in Henderson in the western part of the beautiful state of Kentucky.  Four wonderful vizslas and a weimaraner share their lives with us.  Their names are Z, Anya, Wings, Croce, and Cede.  With our vizslas, we primarily have been involved in conformation shows, obtaining championships on Z, Anya, and Wings and campaigning Anya to the number two vizsla ranking in breed and all-breed statistics in 2005.  We are now becoming involved in hunt tests and have completed a Junior Hunter title on Z. Agility and obedience are on our agenda as well.  The problem just is finding the time to do it all!
