    Hi Moa hunter & Gapped axe, , some friends of mine have smooth coats & they are a little crazy- I'm' not sure if that's due to nature or nurture. (no offence intended to smooth coat owners) I've got a 5yr old lab/viszla cross (think 40 kgs of viszla in a lab body & a killer tail)who has thrown a little bit to crazy & just didn't work out for me deerstalking so now he's the wife's dog. So was keen on avoiding that again.
    I really like the Velcro qualities of viszla's they are just such a loyal dog.
    I went with the WHV, cos all the research I did suggested they were a lot calmer & this has definitely proved to be the case, he's just so chilled, so far he's been easy to train picking things up quickly. Super quiet on his feet. The thicker coat was another draw card, he's happy outside by himself or by the fire, he's been in the river down here & its bloody cold at the moment & he just follows me in - not overly worried. This all bodes well for the future & I can't wait to get him out hunting towards the end of the year or early next year. I would definitely recommend the breed but they aren't very common & it took me a while to track down who I believe is the only active breeder in NZ. The gene pool is small so you pay for the privledge of ownership. I'll post some pictures of him in due course.

    If it helps, Rushy is very correct, I make a rake look fat, a sardine look fat, I have to run around in a shower to get wet and thats my gym for the morning, and I'm 6ft tall.
    (he may also make a bowling ball look like a bowling ball...)


    Rushy is also a true salt of the earth good guy. One of few.

    Immortality is such a cross to carry. Still that is what you get from drinking the elixir of life from the fountain of eternal youth. Oh the powers of Waikato Draught.

    Thank you for the info. I had been thinking that a cross of a Viszla with a GWHP would be the almost ultimate dog, solving the problems of each breed. Then I discovered that someone had beaten me to the idea by decades and bred the Wire haired Viszla. So it is really interesting to read some first hand experience. The ultimate dog would be one that as well as all the good points listed finds and stays with a downed animal barking until the hunter gets there
