Vizsla Breeders

One of our goals at Vizsla.com is to connect responsible Hungarian Vizsla breeders with people who are interested in owning purebred Vizslas. To that end, our site features both a directory of Vizsla breeders and a Vizsla classifieds section where one can find adult Vizslas and Vizsla puppies for sale.

Before you contact a Vizsla breeder, it is imperative that you fully understand the responsibilities of Vizsla ownership. Vizslas are wonderful dogs, but they need a lot of love, mental stimulation, and physical activity. A responsible breeder will screen potential buyers and release his or her dogs only to homes where these needs will be adequately met in a safe and loving environment.

Conversely, a Vizsla breeder that adheres to the Vizsla Club of America's Code of Ethics will breed only dogs that conform to the American Kennel Club breed standard and will provide you with AKC registration, OFA certification, and detailed medical information about your Vizsla.

The VCA Code of Ethics includes the following sections about breeding and sales:

Breeding

VCA members shall breed only with the intention of improving the breed by breeding only those vizslas who conform to the standard as recognized by the American Kennel Club and who exhibit soundness, stable temperament and natural hunting ability. Further, VCA members shall breed only those dogs who have a DNA number and are free of serious hereditary defects (including epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy, Von Willebrands, entropian and cranial muscular atrophy), and are over two years of age and have been x-rayed and OFA-certified as free from hip dysplasia.

VCA members must exhibit a commitment to vizslas they have bred and sold by supporting rescue through involvement with any vizsla placed in rescue, produced by either dog or bitch that is member-owned or co-owned. Support may include but is not limited to financial, fostering and/or re-homing.

Sales

VCA members shall:

• Not breed, sell, consign puppies or adult dogs to pet shops or other commercial ventures such as lotteries or raffles
• Honestly evaluate the quality of the vizsla sold, fairly represent that evaluation and urge puppy purchasers to spay or neuter all pets which for any reason will not be used for breeding
• Not release puppies under seven weeks of age
• Furnish details on feeding, care, inoculations, pedigrees and written sales agreements
• Sell any puppy which will not be used for breeding on Limited Registration from AKC
• Screen all prospective buyers to assure that puppies have safe and loving homes
• Supply assistance and support to puppy buyers for the life of the dog
• Encourage owners to become involved in vizsla activities, the Vizsla Club of America and regional vizsla clubs
