DIAMONDMINE Kennels

GiGi is the ten year old daughter of Howard and Von Walker.  She lives and attends school in Johnson City, Tenn.  GiGi shares her home with Vizsla Lily who is four and a Multiple Best In Specialty Show and Multiple Group winning girl and Lily's son Topper (pictured together above). GiGi also co-owns Vizsla Tess, Lily's mom and Toppers Grandma, with me.  When Gigi had her ninth birthday she began her juniors career showing Tess, Lily's mother, and placing 3rd out of a class of 14 at her second show! GiGi went on to place 2nd at her third show.  I  along with GiGi's parents are very proud of her and the great job she has done in the ring!  This page is GiGi's, I hope you enjoy your visit.
