History
Originating in Hungary, the Hungarian Vizsla was also known as the Hungarian Pointer or the Magyar Pointer. The Vizsla, once established as a breed, was used almost exclusively by nobility for falconing and hunting.

After World War II the Vizsla faced extinction, but for the Hungarians who had fled with their Viszlas in tow. The breed was re-established in Britain and North America, and is growing in popularity as a matchless hunting dog.

About the Vizsla:
The Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-haired hunting dog of lean and muscular build. A natural hunter, he is endowed with a good nose and excellent tracking instincts. Vizslas are about 24 inches tall at the withers and weigh about pounds. A Vizsla's coat is only acceptable in shades of golden rust, red and yellow are not allowed.

The Viszla is a typical aristocratic gentlemen, and does well in a family enviroment. His easy-going, unflappable and sound temperament makes the Vizsla a very versatile companion, whether he's at home with family, out in the field, or in the show-ring.
