I'm Charlissa & Burnie S., the breeder behind Tascosa Bird Dogs & Cirnechi located in Amarillo, TX. At Tascosa we focus on breeding excellence. Our dogs regularly compete in the show ring, field trials, and hunt tests. They are also loyal and sweet companions. Puppies are bred for health, lovely temperaments, and to meet conformation standards.
Q. & A. with Charlissa & Burnie
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the Vizsla breed and dog training encouraged the beginning of Tascosa Kennels. We work closely with a friend and mentor when breeding our Cirneco dell'Etna. We love sharing the incredible qualities of our dogs with others.
What makes your program special?
We believe that a dog's correct form is inherent to its true function. Decisions are thoughtfully made throughout the entire breeding process to assure we meet that true function. We are proud to be preparing our pups for a wonderful life with their future owners.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Vizsla puppies are golden rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
