This is what one looks like
Attachment 7190
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.
How do they hunt? all air scent or off the ground also
Both, but mainly air scenting on four legged stuff.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
I think Viszla qualities are overrated here , may sound harsh but in my point of view are good only if you put a bag on them to carry what you hunted with your Deutsch-Drahthaar your Deutsch Kurzhaar or even your Springer or Brittany , all those breeds are much much better then Viszla .
When i say much i say much better and easy to train , much better to work with , much better nose, much better hunters overall .
My favorite all around dog is Drahthaar no matter what you hunt he will be your good companion .
Regards
P.S. I'm from Romania , I live in a town close to Hungarian border 250 km from Budapest so here we get really easy dogs from the best kennels from Hungary in years i never saw a Viszla (train in Romania or and champion adult brought from Hungary) better then breeds enumerated above , maybe with one exception for Brittany who have difficulties to carry large game like foxes or hare.
Barat VizslasStill here ... just a bit cautious about posting here (goodness knows why :)). I plan to breed one of my bitches in about August.Quote:

Ye ha... I pick my new viszla up in 2 weeks... Cant wait!!!
Im taking a gamble on a `13 month old "pre loved" dog whos owners are off to Aussie.
He looks great and has been on the deer already but am expecting to have to start from scratch!
