Wirehaired Vizsla
The Wirehaired Vizsla (English pronunciation: VEESH-lə), is a
dog breed originating in Hungary. Wirehaired Vizslas are known as
excellent hunting dogs, and also have a level personality making
them suited for families. The Wirehaired Vizsla is a versatile,
natural hunter endowed with an excellent nose and an above average
trainability. Although they are lively, gentle mannered,
demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and
possessed of a well-developed protective instinct. The breed has a
firmness on point, is an excellent retriever, and has the
determination to remain on the scent even when swimming. The
overall appearance embodies the qualities of a multi-purpose
pointing dog, endurance, working ability and an easily satisfied
nature. This is a dog of power and drive in the field, yet is a
tractable and affectionate companion in the home. The Wirehaired
Vizsla is a wire-coated hunting dog, with a distinguished
appearance and bearing. They have a lean build and are very robust.
The coat is an attractive russet to golden sand in color. Where
permitted the tail may be docked to three-fourths of its original
length.
The Wirehaired Vizsla is a rare dog breed in Hungary with an
estimated 30 litters [4] (approximately 140-150 dogs) being
registered annually.
Color and coat
The coat is wiry, close-lying, strong, and dense, 0.75 inches to
1.25 inches (2–3 cm) long with a dense, water-repellent
undercoat. The outline of the body is not to be hidden by the
longer coat. Pronounced eyebrows along with a strong, harsh beard,
0.75 inches to 1.25 inches (2–3 cm) long on both sides of the
muzzle reinforce the determined expression. The coat should never
be long, soft, silky, shaggy, crinkle, wooly, thin, lacking
undercoat or lacking brushes on the legs.
