Thread: Hungarian Vizslas

Any Info much appreciated!

This is what one looks like



Hope this helps!

I know what they look like, the boss's have 1 each and their second to none tracking dogs! very funny!

Looks like every man and his dog breed them now... you would want to do some serious research on them to find the right breeder

You never can be too sure these days... and i was in piss take mode!

You lookin at getting one???

I have been. but im taking my time in picking what i want and there seems to be big ques for the good breeders!

Great dogs, very keen to hunt and very intelligent high energy but allot of fun to be around but can be to needy at times.
They are good around kids and dont like strangers in their patch, good all-round dogs if you are into water fowl as well.
I got mine from Dave Wilson in Te Anau and am glad i did as Dave or Ali are always contactable and really care for their litters and really want to see their dog hunted as that is what they are for and no silly restrictions on breeding from them etc. They seem to run around $1200 for a pup with papers, well worth it.

My son is breeding a second litter soon. First litter is turning out great.
I've got a Wire, but I have to say his Visla bitch is excellent. Very good on deer and ok on ducks. Mainly used for deer so that's the strength that has been developed in his one.

They are probably not a breed that will suit everyone because they are very gentle and seem to thrive on affection. Quite thin skinned, so they get cold but a jacket fixes that.

I've heard very good things about the pups from Dave Wilson that Malhunting has mentioned.

Getting a a good working line bred pup can be tricky. Even my son's bitch and the dog the pups are by are really first generation hunters. Lots of "flash" show breeding in most NZ Vislas.

Craig can be contacted through me.

Both, but mainly air scenting on four legged stuff.

I've spoken to Mr Wilson, none at the mo so was told to try again in 6 months.

Tahr could you pm a email adress in relation to your litter?

Sure. He lives in Upper Hutt and his dog is hunting with him a couple of times a week.

What were you trying to find out?

when any litters are available in the next 2 months from purebred hunting back grounds

I wouldn't get to hung up on the hunting back ground i have had a Vizsla from a show back ground with the sire being a rabbit dog and it worked just as hard as the dog i have now, i dont think that ability came from the sire being just a rabbiter. But for piece of mind i suppose it is a good thing, i just think the natural instinct to hunt is so high in these dogs that it doesn't matter to much what breeding they have.

Try Barat on here. She just had a litter about 3 months ago and may be planning more. Have not seen her for a while but I think here website is Barat.co.nz.
