What is the history of the Vizsla breed?
The Vizsla (VEE-shla) is also known as the Hungarian Vizsla. The Vizsla was originally developed by the Magyars over one thousand years ago, and retains many of those original breed traits. Some of those traits include the versatility to hunt all types of fur and feather game, yet still be a devoted personal companion. There is not a huge division between the “show Vizsla” and the “field Vizsla” that you see in many of the sporting group breeds. Vizsla breeders today have worked very diligently to maintain the duality and versatility of the breed through carefully planned breeding programs. The pedigree of a well bred Vizsla will contain both Field and Show titles. In addition, many Vizslas will have agility and obedience titles! They are truly versatile!!!
