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. The Vizsla has a rough, dense and wiry topcoat that is ¾ to 1 ¼ inches in length, having no glossy appearance and a soft dense undercoat. Coats are grown on tight fitting skin and water resistant as they are built to handle cold working conditions. Heights for males are 58 to 64 centimeters from the withers and females 54 to 60 centimeters and 45 to 60 pounds. The accepted colors are russet, golden sand or red.
