"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

Instead of recreating the many wheels out there, we'll link to all things Vizsla including the breed standard and other Vizsla specific resources. If you have never owned a Vizsla and are considering the breed, please invest the time to read:

  • Rocky Mountain Vizsla Club's website - "Is the Vizsla the Right Breed for You?" and "Finding a Reputable Breeder"
  • Jenny Hawthorn - "The Versatile Vizsla"
  • BarBen Vizslas - "You Don't Want a Vizsla If"
  • Fusion Vizslas - "Understanding Pedigrees" and "Why Health Tests Are Important".

    • PATIENCE is the key in finding a Vizsla from a reputable breeder!! Please, please, please DO NOT get your Vizsla from a pet store, puppy-mill, backyard or high-volume breeder. To better understand the differences between good breeders and irresponsible ones please read, "Comparison of Traits of a Responsible Breeder vs. a Backyard 'Breeder'" by Kelrobin-Woodhaven Labradors. Also, check out their very well done article on "Why Pay More For A Pet Puppy?" and their whole "Breeding Responsibly" section.
