Breed: Hungarian Wire Haired Vizsla

Richmond Ch. Show 2026.

Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas


As you all know In the early 1900s hunters wanted a stronger type of vizsla which could withstand the extreme cold, and work in the very harsh & rocky territory of what was then Czechoslovakia.. after many years of trying & breeding they finally bred what they were looking for.. a breed with stronger bone & coat for the cold & the territory .. that could hunt boar, deer, hare , birds etc .. and not be seen by the prey . Size & high tails would be telling the prey to run or fly away quickly. Pale & yellowish eyes also very much on the increase .

The ground was quite difficult for some exhibitors being very uneven in places .. so I took this into consideration…
