Kym Fisher

Director

I got my first Vizsla in 2000, which opened the door to the wonderful world of this incredible breed. Since 2001, I have been an active member of the Twin Cities Vizsla Club, serving in various board and committee roles. I value the opportunity to give back to a community that has meant so much to me.
I enjoy competing and having fun with my dogs in a variety of venues, including shows, field, scentwork, obedience, and agility.

Bobbie Moormann

Director


Bobbie has one Vizsla, Shelby. Looking to connect with other Vizsla owners, Bobbie joined TCVC in 2022 and became a board member in 2025. She and Shelby keep busy in the dog circuit with Agility, FCAT, Rally and Obedience.

Outside of their competitive pursuits, Bobbie and Shelby love snowshoeing and hiking adventures. At home, Shelby lends a paw as Bobbie enjoys hobbies like gardening, knitting, baking and reading. When Shelby takes a break, Bobbie spends time golfing and biking with her husband, Mark.

Kathy Ruzich

Director

Kathy has been a member of TCVC on and off since the early 90’s. Kathy and her husband Jeff currently have 3 Vizsla’s and a Giant Schnauzer. One of their Vizsla’s is Finnegan aka Best Boy Ever! Finnegan was adopted as a ‘special needs’ rescue vizsla and he is Kathy’s boy while the other Vizsla’s go hunting and spend more time with Jeff.

Kathy enjoys walking with her dogs and is also interested in starting scent training. Both Kathy & Jeff enjoy spoiling their animals with lots of love and good treats.
