Meet our MFSDA Director, Laurel Medley!
I came to the dog world later in life. Our first family dog was a Rhodesian Ridgeback in 1994 and soon after a GSD. When they passed at ripe old ages I went hunting for our next dog and landed on the Vizsla in 2006. Finn was bought as a pet, but I was encouraged by his breeder to try conformation. I was hooked. I finished Finn quickly (despite my novice handling skills). Finn and I then went on to compete in Obedience, Rally and Hunting. He earned a CD, RAE and a JH. Well, no one warned me, they are like potato chips and Mac joined the family in 2008 and Ruairi in 2011. In 2016 I bred my first litter under the TruBlu prefix, a nod to my career in law enforcement. In 2021 I qualified as an AKC Bronze Breeder of Merit. Now that we have re-located to 10 acres in Dunnellon from the Fort Lauderdale area, the household has grown to eight Vizslas and three Dexter cattle.
My involvement in the dog community has grown over the years. I belong to the Tampa Bay Vizsla Club and have chaired the Summer Specialty for four years and will be the incoming President in 2023. I am a member of the Vizsla Club of America and the Citrus County KC. I am an original Board member of MFSDA, currently serving as Vice-President and the past Secretary and President.
My dogs and the dogs I have bred have given me much to be proud of both in performance events, jobs in the community and first and foremost being good family members.
