Why a VERSATILE HUNTING DOG?
Find a TRUE HUNTING DOG
Vizslas come in a variety of packages. Selecting your next hunting dog can be confusing and at times, riddled with sales pitches. The selection of your breeder and the puppy should be considered while looking for your versatile hunting dog. The word versatile is used in many different contexts these days, one of which indicates that the dog can do almost anything. Our definition of versatile comes from the definition utilized in the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association's mission statement and dog breeding tenents. Look for a truly versatile vizsla that is bred with this definition in mind. This is why I provide the following links to breeding partners who are subscribing to this definition of versatile. We are all working together under the NAVHDA organizations testing system to evaluate and test our dogs. The training involved to develop a Utility prized dog is demanding and will highlight the dogs temperament, trainability, and it's ability to handle wet, cold conditions. Dogs who demonstrate success in NAVHDA Utility are usually dogs who succeed in the field and the marsh.
A DOG TO BE PROUD OF IN THE UPLANDS
Vizslas are well known for being terrific upland hunting dogs. The breed is competent at finding birds, but today's demanding big country hunting is showing the need for dogs who can scour the countryside. Limited habitat and limited bird populations require expert hunters to find them. Dogs and humans included.
A VIZSLA DOES WHAT?
YES, I take my red dogs waterfowl hunting and I truly enjoy it with them. It's so much fun to see a purpose bred and driven dog want to get birds no matter the conditions and no matter the quary. A vizsla who's figured out that it's just as much fun in the marsh as it is in the uplands, is a blast to hunt with. Mojo was one of the very best and he is missed every day.
