Gundog Society Of Wales

Breed: Hungarian Vizsla

Gundog Society of Wales … 16th October 2924


Hungarian Vizslas 

It was really good to see so many people staying to watch Special Beginners right through to BIS,BPIS & BV .. the Gundog Society of Wales deserve so much accolade for putting on such a good show ..you were all amazing .  


Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm in coming to Malvern in such wet & bad driving conditions, it was very appreciated.

I have a couple of comments to make generally insomuch that the tight, round cat-like feet were not present in a quite a lot of the breed, some of that might have been due to long nails which certainly showed up being on solid floor..Also height .. the 57-64 cm for males & the 55-60 cm for bitches just needs to be remembered. The breed is such an elegant and beautiful breed …it would be a great shame to lose the traits that makes the HV so special
