Hungarian Wirehaired Vizsla - Roy Bebbington -
Gonegos kennel
 The wirehaired vizsla is a robust , multi purpose
gundog, capable of performing a wide variety of tasks, both on land
and water.
The breed is a somewhat larger, stronger boned and more robust dog
than its smooth haired cousin.
Its coat, developed to withstand the icy water temperatures of its
native Hungary, affords the breed both insulation and protection
from the ravages of the weather, and thick, sharp cover into which
it may be sent.
Temperamentally, it is a somewhat sensitive breed, unsuited to the
heavy handed trainer, and benefits from involvement within the
'home' environment. The actually not only make great working dogs,
but also double as super family pets.
 Since the breeds introduction into the UK, in the early nineties,
the breed has found favour with rough shooters, falconers and deer
stalkers alike.
An increasing number are being entered into field trails, gundog
working tests and spring pointing tests, and are taking some of the
top awards.
