  4. The Legacy
THE VIZSLA
The beautiful golden-brown Vizsla differs in its origins from the other continental pointer breeds. While several of the other pointers come from the ancient Spanish Bracco, the Hungarian Vizsla originates from ancient Asian breeds. You can read about this "yellow hunting dog” all the way back in the 1300s, when it seems particularly prominent in Hungary. The name Viszla comes from the Hungarian Magyar Viszla, which means Hungarian pointer.

Breeding towards the Viszla type known today has a very special story behind it. The actual breeding work really took off in World War I, and in 1917, the first temporary pedigrees were introduced in Hungary, at the same time as launching a nationwide search work to find the dogs that most resembled the original yellow Vizsla. In 1920, the federation of the Hungarian Vizsla breeders was formed and the first real pedigrees were drawn up. It was in the mid-50s that the first dogs of this breed are estimated to have arrived in Denmark. They were kept as ordinary family pets, and there was no actual breeding from them. The targeted breeding work in Denmark began around 1970, when Vizla bitches were imported from Hungary and one was imported from America. Since then, the breed has become popular and is now available as both a shorthaired and a wirehaired version.

An athletic gun dog
The Vizsla is a medium-sized gun dog with an athletic build and a friendly expression, although the wirehaired Vizla is sturdier than the shorthaired. The Vizla works well in the field, but also shows its versatility in the forest and, not least, when retrieving. One of the distinctive features of the Vizsla is its ability to keep in touch with its handler during the hunt. Retrieving is deeply rooted in the breed - both on land and in water, and the Vizsla also has a good track performance. Several of them are registered in the Danish Schweisshund Register. In terms of size, males range from 58-64 cm, while females range from 54-60 cm. The weight for males is up to 30 kg, while for females it is up to 25 kg. The colour is golden reddish with different shades.
