The Vizsla

A Breed Profile

A magnifisant immigrant added to the American meltingpot of canine citizens in recent years, the Vizsla, official pointing dog of Hungary, has made serious inroads into the U.S hunting scene since arriving here in 1950.His cinnamon-colored, shorthaired coat adorns a sleek body imbued with terrific talents, including a keen nose combined with the intelligence to learn from experience how to use it, strong hunting desire and natural retrieving instincts. Little wonder his rapid climb in popularity.

 Afield, the Vizsla takes the role of a traditional pointing breed, assigned to seeking and locating upland game birds by scent, staunchly pointing them out in statute-like stance.At the flush, only when commanded, he brings the quarry gently back to hand. With some 10 centuries of practice underpinning his performace, the Vizsla lays claim to being the oldest of the world’s sporting breeds

 Originating among the Magyars, who invaded and colonized the Hungarian plains,the breed later was adopted by the aristocracy and flourished selectively until the Soviet invasion of Hungary, which nearly extincted the breed. The few survivors made up the current stock.

A scale-tipping 55 pound average, standing about 22-24 inches at withers, the Vizsla’s tail is generlly docked (cut) to 5-6-length.Learning lessons fairly quickly, the breed can be somewhat thin-skinned and should be handled with gentle firmness for best results. Affectionately natured, he displays strong protectiveness toward his loving family.  

“Ancestry Authentication”

Value Added No Minus For Multiplication

Your canine hunting partner is totally valueless! It’s true. That is if you ever plan parenthood for Fido, and he (or she) is not registered in one of the official stud books appropriate for his breed.

Without registration, any offspring from a mating (even with a champion) leaves the pups in purebred limbo. Why? Registration provides a permanent record of and for your dog. Itestablishes his official name and identifying number, and authenticates his purebred pedigree. It increases his value by ensuring recording of placements he wins in field trials. All this makes selling his puppies easier and more profitable.

Normally, spaniels and retrievers are registered with the American Kennel Club, 5580 Centerview Dr., Raleigh, NC 27606. Field type pointing dogs go into the American Field Publishing Company’s Field Dog Stud Book, 542 South Dearborn St., Chicago, IL 60605.

Registration forms should be provided by the breeder of your pup.
