History of the Hungarian Vizzla breed
Origin: Hungary
Vizzla is the national dog of Hungary, its origin possibly dates back to the 9th century. The Hungarian nobility used it to find birds for falcons or nets until firearms appeared in the 18th century. Many Hungarians left with their dogs after the war, which contributed to the spread of the breed in Europe. The first female came to Australia from Great Britain in 1973.
The Hungarian Vizla is a medium (54-64 cm) elegant dog with short, dense, golden-red fur. Alert, playful, sensitive, good-natured and very attached to the family. Needs daily movement, mental activities and companionship.
