The Hungarian Wired Haired Pointing Dog or the Vizsla, is believed to have existed along with the Magyar tribes as hunters during the 8th century as stone etchings thousands of years old depicting the breed. They were also mentioned in the Vienna Chronicle in 1357.  Vasas Jozsef of the Csabi Kennel and Gresznarik László of a German Wirehaired Pointer Kennel came together to make a breed that had a heavier coat, stronger build.

They also wanted a breed that was more durable for work in cold climates and resistant to frigid waters.
