Ancho de la Vida is Spanish
for "The Breadth of Life." Like his name
implies, Ancho has expanded and widen Maria’s
parents lives. Ancho makes his home with my
parents, Amado and Mercedes Fajardo of Las Cruces, New
Mexico. For years they have tolerated my fascination in
training and showing dogs. While they allowed me to have
dogs when I was at home, they never fully appreciated the
joys of owning a dog of their own. Ancho has
opened their hearts and lives to the extraordinary world
of dogs.
My father jumped into training and handling of Ancho in the field earning Ancho’s Junior Hunter title at 6 ½ months old. Ancho began his show career winning a 4-point major going Best of Winners handled by me in the Bred by Exhibitor class at the Flagstaff Kennel Club show, which was a supported entry by the Rio Salado Vizsla Club from Phoenix, Arizona. The next day, Ancho won another 4-point major also going Best of Winners.
At
the Astro World Series Dog Shows in Houston, Texas Ancho
went Winner's Dog and Best Of Winners out of the 
Bred by Exhibitor
class winning a 4 point major. Ancho is
pictured below with Maria and Amado, Ancho's owner.
Ancho traveled to Los Banos, California for the 1999 Vizsla Club of America National Specialty and did very well. Ancho won the 12 month to under 15 month Puppy Dog Sweepstakes class handled by Melissa Thomas, then went on to win Best Puppy in Sweepstakes beating 83 dogs and bitches. (Photo by Cook PhoDOGraphy)
Ancho places 2nd in Open Derby at the Yucca German Shorthaired Pointer Club walking field trial held in Los Lunas, NM on Nov. 13. Ancho also placed 3rd in Open Puppy at the same field trial.
Ancho went
Winners Dog and Best of Winners for a 4-point major at
the Rio Grande Kennel Club show under Mrs. J. B.
Patterson in Albuquerque, NM on Mother's Day, May 14th,
2000 just like his mother, Vida. What a great Mother's
Day gift. The next day, Ancho, was moved up to the Best
of Breed class and won Best of Breed under 
judge Christina Hubbell at the
Chaparral Kennel Club show on May 15, 2000.
Ancho has become quite an assistance dog for both my mother and father. He is always ready to pick items up off the floor and to carry anything he is asked to and he is always ready to find the portable telephone wherever it may be. Another one of Ancho's duties is to get the mail directly from the local delivery person.
Ancho completed his Companion Dog title by passing three in a row and going High Scoring Dog in Trial at the Rio Salado Vizsla Club Specialty and Obedience trial on February 22, 2005.
