About the Wirehaired Vizsla

HUNGARIAN WIRE-HAIRED VIZSLA
Official U.K.C. Breed Standard
©Copyright 2006, United Kennel Club, Inc.

HISTORY
The Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla (Wirehaired Vizsla) was created by cross-breeding the Hungarian Short-Haired Vizsla with the German Wire-Haired Pointer during the 1930’s. The Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla was recognized by the United Kennel Club January 1, 2006.

GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla is a medium-sized, wire-coated hunting dog, with a distinguished appearance and bearing. They have a lean build and are very robust. The coat is an attractive russet gold. This is a dog of power and drive in the field, yet is a tractable and affectionate companion in the home. Field-conditioned coats, as well as a brawny or sinewy muscular condition, and honorable scars, indicating a working hunting dog, are never to be penalized. The qualities that make a “dual dog” are always to be appreciated, not depreciated.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla is a versatile, natural hunter endowed with an excellent nose and an above average trainability. Although they are lively, gentle mannered, demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and possessed of a well-developed protective instinct. The breed has a firmness on point, is an excellent retriever, and has the determination to remain on the scent even when swimming. The overall appearance embodies the qualities of a multipurpose pointing dog, endurance, working ability and an easily satisfied nature. Body length slightly exceeds the height, measured at the withers. The skin is tightly-fitting, well-pigmented.
