Smoothaired Vizsla:
The Hungarian Vizsla is bred to be a multi-purpose gundog and an
integral part of a family representing the best of sporting dog and
loving, loyal family member. They are one of the true 'Versatile'
breeds. For hunting and field work they are a hunting, pointing and
retrieving dog. They can work equally well on fur and feather and will
work with all sizes of game up to deer. The Vizsla is bred as a close
ranging dog so they very rarely wander and are very focused on their
handlers position even when they are working.
The Vizsla can succeed in all areas as a total family, sport and
working dog. It can be spoiled and sleeping under the covers of the
water bed one minute and then will quite happily be taken out to work in
the field, the obedience ring, the agility circuit or whatever area of
interest the owner has. |

Wirehaired Vizsla:
The Wirehaired Vizsla is a very versatile breed.
They are strong swimmers, which make them excellent for duck and goose hunting.
They are also a natural strong pointing breed in the field when hunting for
quail, pheasant and chuckars. WHV's also are widely used in falconry and
deer-stalking.
The Wirehaired Vizsla is considered a rare breed in the United States
and not recognized by the AKC. We are however recognized by the North American
Versatile Hunting Dog Association and encourage membership and participation in
NAVHDA as a way to test and title your wires. There are currently less than 200
Wirehaired Vizsla in the US. |

German Wirehaired Pointer:
The German wirehaired pointer, or drahthaar, resembles the German
shorthaired pointer in all ways except for the coat. The wirehaired pointer has
a two-layered coat: the undercoat is a soft, dense insulating covering, and the
outercoat is straight, harsh, and wiry. The wirehaired pointer was developed in
Germany, during the last half of the 19th century, from the German shorthaired
pointer and several other pointing breeds, including the pudelpointer. The breed
very quickly became popular in its native land. Introduced to the United States
in the 1920s, it was officially recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1959.

German ShortHaired Pointer:
The German Shorthaired Pointer was almost certainly developed in
the kennels of Prince Albrecht zu Somsbrauenfels based on the Schweisshund, a
breed renowned for its scenting abilities but rather slow. The introduction of
English Pointer blood produced a much more energetic working dog. He gives the
immediate impression of a powerful and alert dog, covering plenty of ground and
standing tall. He is only of medium size, dogs up to 64cm, but weighs up to
70lbs and it is obvious, looking at the clean and elegant outline that much of
that weight is muscle. Short-backed with good bone the German Shorthaired
Pointer looks every inch the excellent worker that he is. His temperament
matches his other qualities; he is keen to please and immensely loyal with an
affectionate and gentle nature. |
