Ramblin River Kennels was founded by Bill Stapleton in 2005 In Southeast, WI. As with many others, we didn’t even know what a Vizsla was much less how to pronounce one!

Ramblin River Kennels was founded by Bill Stapleton in 2005 In Southeast, WI. As with many others, we didn’t even know what a Vizsla was much less how to pronounce one! Our journey started with the purchase of what would become our foundation bitch Ramblin Rivers Ava Matava. “Ava” from Ryan Rice of Winnoconnee, WI was purchased for a family companion as well as a hunting dog and she has excelled as both to 15 years young! She was officially retired from the field after her 11 year old hunting season as her mind will still hunt all day but her body no longer could handle the pounding of chasing wild birds throughout the country. Her drive,stamina, and style lives on in her pups, grand pups, and now great grand pups! Ava brought us into the competitive world of hunting as a young dog.
We researched getting involved with the breed to further our knowledge in hunting training as well as to get meet new people to hunt with. We decided to go to a hunt test at Ottawa field trial grounds to see what it was all about. Ava earned her first 2 legs of junior hunter on our first attempts in the process hooking us on the competitive world of bird dogs. At the completion of the test, one of the judges Jim Couris, mounted on a beautiful jet black walking horse, pulled me aside stating that I
really should look into field trials as my dog would excel. (Who new years later Jim would own multiple RRK dogs, Rock and Hail) Fast forward 6 months later our first Tennessee
Walker field trial horse Ice came into the picture followed by the acquisition of a hard charging coming 2 year old dog named Bogart from our know dear friends Pamand Mark Spurgeon of Crimson Sky Vizslas. Bo took us across the country trialing in
regional and national completion for many years. To all that know him, he was a hard charging athletic dog that had a bit of a black hearted streak in him. We earned his Field Championship title with him and continued to compete him until he was a 9 year old moving on to other younger dogs to compete with. To this day at nearly 15 he will
hunt the country at extreme range finding wild roosters and grouse.

With the guidance of many individuals, we had our first litter of pups some 15 plus years ago starting a long line of Ramblin River dogs. The first litter produced several competitive dogs in different realms as well as great tempered dogs. RRK has a growing lineage of produced National Champions, Field Champions, Master, senior, and junior hunters as well as great tempered tough dogs, (a quality we desire in our dogs). Not to mention the countless quality family members and weekend hunting partners. We are the proud co-founders of the former Vizsla Club Of Greater Milwaukee (now Dairyland Bird Dog Club) hosting training days, fun events, hunt tests, as well as field trials across Wisconsin as well as members of numerous field clubs through out the country.
