Wirehaired Vizsla


The Wirehaired Vizsla is a sporting dog that originated in the country of Hungary. These dogs are loyal companions. They are also one of the smallest of the retriever breeds. Many people feel that one of the best characteristics of the Wirehaired Vizsla is its small size. In the 1930s, the hunters and falconers of Hungary wanted to create a breed with the same traits and color of the Vizsla, but one that could more easily withstand extreme weather and rough field conditions. The plan to develop a dog with a heavier, sturdier build and wiry coat was eventually approved and overseen by the Hungarian Vizsla Klub. Two Vizsla bitches were bred to a solid liver German Wirehaired Pointer and by 1944, 60 three-generation dogs were registered in the stud book. The first Wirehaired Vizslas were imported to North America in the early 1970s.
