Just like their owners, Vizslas need proper grooming as well to maintain their beauty and hygiene. This breed’s coat needs to be brushed and shampooed only when necessary. Use dry shampoo or powdered shampoo and then brush it out. Vizslas are a relatively clean breed with average and so it does not require too much grooming. Their nails should be trimmed every 2 to 3 weeks and you should pay attention to their health as they are prone to various health conditions such as skin and food allergies.

Keep your Vizsla’s things in a place where there will be no accumulation of bacteria that may cause infections in their skin. You as the owner can keep your personal belongings such as your makeups in a Vizsla Cosmetic Bag (Dog Breed Make-up Case) with zipper closure and lined in plastic. This bag can also be used to hold cameras and other goodies.

Vizsla are considered to be a talented and versatile  breed for they can function both as a pointer and the retriever with a soft mouth when holding on to objects. These are a few of many things to add to your checklist when getting a dog. If these things are green lights on your list, then the Vizsla is just waiting to be given a home.

Contrary to what you may think, the two types of  Hungarian Vizslas – Wire-haired and Short-haired are completely different breeds, though they share many of the same characteristics.

The wire haired Vizsla was crossed with the German Wirehaired pointer in order to get a coat that was better adapted to the cold and and was more tolerant of moisture. Currently, though they are well recognized in Europe, the wirehaired Vizsla is still a rare breed in the US, and isn’t recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) though they are recognized by several other clubs in the US. They are recognized by the FCI and considered a rare breed in Europe as well. The Wire-Haired Vizsla’s have a dense undercoat that protects them from moisture quite unlike their shorthaired cousins.

The short haired Vizsla is commonly recognized breed and thought to be the only kind of Hungarian Vizsla. They are not suited for cold climates or getting very wet, since they don’t have the protection of the undercoat. However, this also makes them great indoor dogs, as they are less prone to give their owners allergies. They also shed very little, and this results in a remarkable lack of the “Doggy Smell” that is a trademark of most other homes. They are one of the few breeds that are perfect family dogs as well as sporting dogs.

Vizsla is regarded as the dog with human soul. If you have a vizsla too, you know what I mean. 

It developed independently from all the other Vizsla breeds, and its origin dates back to when the Magyars conquered the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century. Hungarian tribes that settled in the Carpathian Basin brought dogs with them and these in turn mixed with hunting dogs of the Slavic people living in the occupied territory at that time. The dogs that evolved were the ancestors of today?s Hungarian hunting dog breeds, namely the Hungarian vizsla and the Transylvannian hound. Seperation of the two breeds occured in the 11th century and when the Turks conquered Hungary in the 16th centruy, the Vizsla developed further by crossing with the dogs of the Turks: namely with the dog breed called the Sloughi. Unfortunately, by the end of World War II, much of the Hungarian Vizsla population was destroyed. A few of these dogs were taken to Western Europe and America. The original book of origin was also lost in a fire, so the origin of some of the remaining facts became unknown. But top quality European breeders have perpetuated the gene-pool of this beautiful and regal breed that is very much loved outside of its native Hungary as well!
