Hungarian Vizsla: all about the dog, photo, description of the breed, character, price

The Hungarian Pointer or Vizsla is a medium-sized, elegant dog with a noble bearing and a light, lean body covered with short reddish-brown hair. It was bred for gun hunting and is capable of working in difficult terrain and in adverse weather conditions.

Let's find out what the Hungarian cop is and what the specifics of its content are.

History of the Hungarian Vizsla breed

The history of four-legged hunters began in the 9th-11th centuries, when their ancestors - pointing dogs - first appeared on the territory of Hungary.
At that time, the country had not yet gained autonomy and was part of Pannonia, a Roman province where the climate was damp and unsuitable for comfortable living. This territory became home to the Magyars, whose main occupation was hunting. To bait game, the nomads bred sandy-colored dogs that had excellent terrain awareness and were adapted to the weather conditions of Pannonia. Like the Magyars, these animals were distinguished by a love of freedom, so they often left their homes and spread throughout the province. Cops that migrated to neighboring regions remained invisible against the backdrop of indigenous and already established breeds.

It is not known what the fate of the Magyar dogs would have been if they had not attracted the attention of Hungarian hunters with their grace and dexterity. To improve their working qualities, the animals were crossed with cops of eastern origin. The appearance of the dogs also changed: thanks to mating with Russian greyhounds, their coat acquired a lighter shade. In the first half of the 16th century, future Vizslas were influenced by the Salukis, sand greyhounds that accompanied Turkish troops during the occupation of Hungary in 1526.

Purposeful and random matings led to an amazing result - the appearance of golden hunting dogs with an established genotype. They were highly valued by the Hungarian nobles, who used the animals in baiting fur-bearing animals or birds. The ancestors of the Vizslas were considered universal hunters who coped with work in the forest or field and fearlessly threw themselves into the water after wounded game.

In addition to their excellent hunting and falconry abilities, the dogs were notable for their energetic intelligence and spectacular appearance. The amber color not only pleased the eye, but also played an important role. Thanks to its noticeable “fur coat,” the Vizsla stood out against the background of the landscape, being at a considerable distance. At the same time, pointers with a reddish tint of fur took part in falconry, while in forest hunting - with golden ones. Subsequently, the two lines of the breed mixed with each other.

Animal selection was brought under careful control in the 18th century. The initiator of the development of a new breeding program was a breeder named Zai. Under his leadership, in the Hungarian city of Zaingroc, work began to improve the parameters of short-haired pointers, which took more than 150 years. Hanoverian hounds, pointers, shorthaired pointers and even poodles have become promising “material” for mating. As a result of selection, it was possible to improve the exterior and field qualities of the Hungarian Vizsla - the future national treasure of the country.

In the 19th century, golden hunting dogs became less popular, losing leadership to German pointers. In order to preserve the breed, the import of pointers from Europe was banned until 1880. With the disappearance of the “canine barrier”, the mass import of pointers to Hungary was resumed. The efforts of the breeder Zaya and his followers were in vain. Now the existence of short-haired cops was remembered only by their ardent lovers, who continued to keep the dogs. From these few purebred Vizslas the modern line of the breed originated. In most pedigrees you can find a mention of a bitch named Kati or a native of the Nimrod kennel.

Hungarian Vizslas were increasingly found in European countries, as well as in Canada and the USA. Active export of dogs to America began after 1935, when representatives of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) entered the breed into the official register and approved its standard. US cynologists actively took up the selection of Vizslas and soon increased their numbers, thereby protecting them from complete extinction. Although pointers were attracted by their greater endurance, Hungarian pointers were distinguished by their ability to hunt in any terrain - both on land and in water.

Despite the measures taken, the number of Vizslas decreased significantly with the outbreak of World War II. Freed from the yoke of fascism, the Hungarians were guided by hopelessness and fear, which is why they made the cruel decision to kill all the dogs so that they would not become a war trophy for soldiers. Fortunately, the animals were partially preserved in neighboring countries, from where they began to conquer the globe.

The name of the breed comes from the Hungarian word vizsgál, which means “to analyze, search, study.” Indeed: these dogs have an amazing ability to find prey even in dense thickets. Now Hungarian Vizslas are rarely used for their intended purpose, but the animals still managed to win the love of dog handlers around the world thanks to their docile nature and ability to become an indispensable companion.

Mating

Hungarian Vizslas are rare hunting dogs for which it is important to preserve their working skills in their natural state, therefore all matings must be official, club, sealed by an agreement. To ensure a high-quality litter, breeders make pairs of opposite dogs that complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

Large dogs require the intervention of a professional in mating. It is not so easy to help them, because you need to keep the female and male in one position for 15-20 minutes while the “lock” lasts. Vizslas are quite heavy, so the strength of both owners and the dog handler will be needed.

Pets are untied at 2 years old, then the maturation stage is completed, dogs are able to conceive, bear and give birth to healthy offspring. The female is brought to the territory of the male; you can walk the animals in advance and introduce them. On average, the act lasts 20-30 minutes.

Hungarian Vizsla breed standard

The Hungarian Vizsla is a medium-sized gun dog breed. These hunters fascinate at first sight: they have a muscular and light body, long graceful paws, a noble stance, a proudly raised head and a purposeful look. Even with a fleeting acquaintance with a Vizsla, it is difficult not to notice her refined nobility.

The height of the animal at the withers and its body weight are fixed by the standard: for males - 56-66 cm and 20-27 kg, for females - 51-61 cm and 18-25 kg. At the same time, it is still not worth focusing on the approved parameters: size is less important in comparison with the overall symmetry and balance of the Hungarian Vizsla. The breed is distinguished by a pronounced sexual type: females look more elegant than males.

Head and skull

The classic cop type of head determines its characteristics: covered with elastic skin, dry, with clear rounded outlines. The dog's skull is slightly convex and wide. A small depression stretches from the bridge of the nose to the occipital protuberance. The brow ridges of the Hungarian Pointer are moderately expressed. Bitches have a less massive skull compared to males.

Muzzle

The Hungarian Vizsla's muzzle is quite large and long, with a U-shaped end. The transition between the wide forehead and the bridge of the nose is smoothed. The straight bridge of the nose ends in a movable lobe, pigmented in a color one tone darker than the color of the Vizsla. Wide nostrils are a characteristic feature of hunting dog breeds. When examining the animal from the side, it is noticeable that the nose is in line with thick and tightly fitting lips. The shade of their edges and the outside of the gums matches the color of the Hungarian Pointer's nose. The jaws do not droop, the chewing muscles are developed.

Ears

Vizsla ears are characterized by a V-shape with rounded ends and medium set. Their length is ¾ of the length of the head. The Vizsla's ears are slightly shifted back, and when at rest they lie close to the cheeks. When a dog is alarmed by something, the ears, rising at the base, turn towards the muzzle.

Eyes

The dog's eyes are medium in size, oval in shape and slanted. Dry eyelids adhere to the eyeballs, completely hiding the whites. The iris is colored brown. Dark shades are preferred. The look is lively and insightful.

Jaws and teeth

The strong jaws of the Hungarian Vizsla form a regular scissor bite with no gap between the incisors. The teeth stand vertically, with the lower ones hidden by the upper ones. The full formula includes 42 teeth.

Neck

Oval in cross-section, medium length, with defined muscles and a convex nape. Its dimensions are proportional to the size of the dog. The dewlap—the loose skin on the throat—is absent.

Frame

The muscular and flexible body of the Hungarian Vizsla is elongated: the length of the body exceeds the height of the dog. The wide chest is formed by moderately rounded and set-back ribs. The pronounced withers flow into a strong, straight back with prominent muscles. The loin protrudes slightly above the back, leading into a sloping and rounded croup. The underside is smoothly curved towards the hind legs.

Tail

Tapers from base to tip, set low. The undocked tail is saber-shaped or straight, and when the pointer moves, it carries parallel to the ground. When lowered, it reaches the level of the joints. Working dogs are allowed to have their tail docked to ¼ of the total length.

Forelegs

Parallel to each other, placed under the body of the animal. They are distinguished by strong bones and lean muscles. Tightly fitting shoulder blades and long shoulder joints do not detract from the flexibility of the Hungarian Pointer. Elbows pressed to the chest. Muscular forearms lead to strong wrists, which lead to sloping pasterns. The latter end in arched, oval-shaped paws. The pads are covered with thick skin. Short curved claws are colored brown.

Hind limbs

Compared to the front ones, they look stronger - especially in the hip area. Long and muscular shins flow into short vertical metatarsals. The knee and hock joints have strong and pronounced articulation angles. The oval paws are formed by bunched toes that end in brown claws. The pads are elastic and rough to the touch.

Movement style

The Hungarian Vizsla moves at a graceful trot, and when accelerating, it moves at a continuous gallop. Every step of the dog is well balanced. When moving, the animal maintains a proud posture, its back remains straight. These cops have the ability to change direction while jumping.

Coat

Thick and short hair fits tightly to the dog's body. In general it is hard and rough, on the head and ears of the animal it is silky and thin. The lower part of the tail is covered with longer hair. There is no undercoat. Hungarian Vizslas do not have the characteristic “dog” smell, so the breed may be a suitable option for people prone to allergies.

Color

The palette is represented by red shades - from wheat to reddish-golden. As the Hungarians say, it is the color of fried bread. The color of the pointer should be uniform, with the exception of the ears, where darker guard hair is allowed. The pigmentation of the eyelids, nose, lips, claws and paw pads is combined with the main color of the coat. The standard provides for the presence of a white spot on the throat or chest of the animal if its diameter does not exceed 5 cm. White hairs on the Vizsla’s paws are also acceptable.

Possible defects

Minor deviations from the standard are considered breed defects. Among the common ones are:

the presence of a large angle of the hock joints or its absence;
pale yellow, chestnut or black coat color;
eye color other than shades of brown;
atypical pigmentation of the nose;
bitch sexual type in males;
hare's feet.

The disqualifying faults of the Hungarian Vizsla are:

incomplete or excessive dental formula;
cowardly or aggressive behavior;
large points on the animal’s body;
partial pigmentation of the nose;
light yellow iris;
stiff and difficult movements;
undershot or overshot jaws;
uneven coat color;
additional row of eyelashes;
entropy or ectropia of the eyes;
presence of dewclaws;
black nose;
undescended testicles;
drooping eyelids;
cleft lip.

Character of the Hungarian Vizsla

The Hungarian Pointer is one of the few hunting breeds that are suitable for novice dog owners. These pets are rightfully considered universal, and all thanks to their insightful mind, devotion, activity, friendliness and sociability. Balanced dogs can make excellent companions not only for hunting, but also for everyday life.

Hungarian Vizslas truly enjoy communicating with family members, but they see only one person as the owner. With this honorary “title” comes a new responsibility – close contact with your pet. Short-haired cops are jokingly called “Velcro” because they accompany their owner even within the apartment. Wherever you go - to the kitchen, to the bedroom or to the bathroom - the animal will not leave this attack unnoticed. A locked room is an unreliable obstacle: the dog would rather curl up in a ball and wait for your return than go off about its business.

The Hungarian Vizsla is a breed that requires unconditional love, patience and constant attention from the owner. If you are away from home for a long time, it is worth thinking about other dogs that do not tolerate separation from their owner so hard. It could be a Shar Pei, Dachshund or Shih Tzu. It is necessary to take into account: these breeds also need regular company, so you should not perceive the animal only as a funny “accessory”.

The ideal owner for a Hungarian pointer is a sporty and cheerful person, and even better, a hunter. Dogs do not like to sit idle: for them, an active walk is more attractive than a long sleep on the sofa. In addition, developed intelligence literally “obliges” animals to resort to daily mental and physical stress. The Hungarian Vizsla will not approve of walking only to relieve itself. Lack of attention on the part of the owner will result in regular mischief, among which a chewed sofa will seem like a trifle in life.

This breed is not suitable for people who need a fierce guard dog. The most a stranger can expect is a loud bark and a warning growl. A Vizsla will not rush into an attack without a good reason, and even more so if the owner is not in danger. Hungarian cops prefer defensive tactics. A special training course will help improve your dog’s guarding qualities - always performed by a professional dog handler!

Since Hungarian Vizslas have a playful disposition, they make excellent company for children. Representatives of the breed are patient and gentle, ready to actively participate in the proposed games and at the same time not show the slightest hint of fatigue. However, you should not leave your child alone with the dog: due to its large size, strength and activity, it can inadvertently push its little friend and thereby cause injury to him. Otherwise, Vizslas are understanding and sensitive pets that can easily cope with the role of “nanny” while you relax after a working day.

It will not be difficult for Hungarian cops to make friends with their relatives. Even dogs of the same sex do not consider each other rivals. Getting to know a cat will require your participation, and you should completely refrain from contact with small pets. Vizslas are hunting dogs, so they can be aggressive towards potential prey. For the same reason, you should not let the cop off the leash: animals tend to react violently to the presence of strange cats and even pigeons.

The lively temperament of the Hungarian Vizsla is noticeable when walking, and especially outside the city, in a field or on the river bank. The dogs seem to throw off invisible shackles and begin to hunt. No matter how far a cop runs in search of prey, it will never lose sight of its owner. Representatives of this breed work “for the public”, wanting to hear praise and approval. Vizslas are especially delighted by the opportunity to swim. Don’t interfere with your pet’s instincts - and he will thank you with wet “kisses” and a calm evening after a busy day!

Owner reviews

Nikolay : “I took a Vizsla for hunting 2 years ago. What can I say now? The dog does not tolerate loneliness. If she is left alone at home, she will tear and chew everything she can there. When we are at home, she doesn’t leave a single step, she constantly hangs around. Everyone is happy. To us, our guests, our enemies. Everyone who comes to the house will be licked by her. She is not a good watchman or security guard. But this is an excellent companion for jogging, walking and hiking in the forest. The forest is her element! That's where she has a blast. You need to walk with her a lot and without a leash. It is advisable to find her a companion from her relatives. Vizslas must go wild when walking. If she doesn’t expend energy during the walk, expect chaos in the house.”

Ruslan : “What I like about this breed is that it practically does not smell like a dog.” Dogs are very smart, they understand everything perfectly, but they are hyperactive. Every dog we meet on a walk needs to play. With a Vizsla, you won’t be able to lie on the couch all day long; you need to play with them, walk a lot, and take them out into nature. Ideally, hunt. It’s good if you have a fenced yard where the Vizslas can run around and run wild without a leash.”

Education and training

Like most breeds, Hungarian Vizslas require early socialization. From puppyhood, it is necessary to teach your pet to calmly respond to new sounds, smells and, of course, acquaintances - both with people and animals. It is important to pay attention to the relationships in your “pack”. The first thing you need to do is set clear communication boundaries. The cop must know where his place is: on the bed next to the owner or on a large and cozy lounger.

If you settled on the second option, the following rule comes into force - teach the Vizsla to rest in the corner designated for it. Creating greenhouse conditions when you are near your pet every minute is not the best option. Gradually teach the dog to sleep in its place, ideally in a special box of suitable size. This will not only save you from annoying company, but will also make your pet more independent and patient.

Hungarian cops are distinguished by a high level of intelligence, but still, training will be beneficial only with the right approach to training the animal. The command “Come to me!” It’s better to practice it at an early age, when the baby doesn’t leave his owner a single step. From birth, Vizsla puppies tend to carry objects of interest in their mouths, and this is a good reason to teach your pet the “Fetch!” command. It is important not to overdo it, otherwise the cop will get used to holding the thing in his teeth, but not giving it to the owner.

From three months the intervention of an experienced trainer is necessary. He will test the puppy and give useful recommendations. A short course of educational training (5-6 lessons) would also be useful. The main thing is not to train a Vizsla for the sake of the process itself and the desire to show off its ingenuity among dog breeders. Each team must perform the main task of simplifying the interaction between humans and animals.

Important: dog experts recommend focusing on the puppy’s well-being. If he is active, it is better to resort to moving exercises. If he wants to relax, practicing the command “Place!” is enough.

The owner of a Hungarian Vizsla must be patient and persistent. Rudeness is not the most appropriate tactic for communicating with an animal. Firstly, neglect will cause the dog to lose trust in its owner. Secondly, there is no question of productive training: the Vizsla will not follow the command if you raise your voice or hit the animal. Attentiveness, understanding and affection are the three pillars on which the training of any dog is based, and the Hungarian Pointer is no exception.

Advantages

Owners of Hungarian Coppers dote on their pets. How can you not love such loyal and intelligent animals? Breeders boldly declare the main advantages of the breed:

Sociability, lack of aggression, friendliness to people and animals;
Love for children;
Mobility, energy;
Balance, calmness;
Sensitivity (the dog senses emotional fluctuations, knows when to approach the owner and when not to);
Unobtrusiveness;
Loving nature;
Developed intelligence and quick learner.

Care and maintenance

Vizsla owners note that this breed requires simple, but mandatory care. The short hair of animals requires weekly combing (no more than twice) with a furminator glove or a natural bristle brush. Combs with sparse large teeth are ineffective. Due to the lack of undercoat, animals shed all year round, but especially in winter and spring. During this period, it is recommended to comb the dog’s coat every day.

You should only bathe your Hungarian Vizsla when necessary. Frequent procedures dry out the skin and gradually wash away the natural protective fat layer from the coat. Use only pet shampoos for short-haired dog breeds. During the shedding period, use a rubber glove: this will speed up the removal of dead hairs. In the winter season, it is permissible to “clean” with dry shampoo, which is rubbed into the coat and then combed out thoroughly.

Please note: after the Hungarian Pointer swims in an open body of water, it is necessary to wash the dog’s body with warm running water. Swimming in mined-out quarries, reservoirs and ponds is undesirable: this is a favorable environment for parasites that cause intestinal and skin diseases.

The next object of attention is the dog’s ears. Healthy ears without ulcers or rashes are pale pink in color. As a preventative measure, it is recommended to wipe them twice a month with a moistened cotton pad or a drying agent. If your dog shakes its head for no reason or rubs its ears on flat surfaces, contact a veterinary clinic: the cause is an ear mite or a slow-onset inflammatory process.

The Hungarian Vizsla's eyes need to be examined daily, especially after walking and hunting. If excessive souring and tearing are not observed, owner intervention is not required. Morning discharge is acceptable and can be removed with a cotton pad or a lint-free piece of cloth. Redness of the eyes is a good reason to consult a specialist who will determine the cause of the inflammation. Often this is not only an allergic reaction to food, but also accidental damage, for example, during active running in tall grass.

As for the cop's mouth, you should take care of brushing your teeth, but not more than once or twice a month, otherwise you will damage the enamel. To remove plaque, use a brush or a finger attachment; as a hygiene product, use paste for dogs. If the Hungarian Vizsla eats dry food, the teeth are cleaned involuntarily. When only natural food is used, the procedure requires special care. For prevention, you can purchase “bones” from compressed animal veins: they will slow down the formation of plaque.

Note: the use of “human” toothpastes is prohibited. Firstly, they are distinguished by a sharp and unpleasant taste for the animal, and secondly, the hygiene product can cause an allergy to any of the components.

To trim nails once a month, you need to purchase a nail clipper for large breeds. Burrs and sharp edges are smoothed using a file. Since most often dogs are not delighted with this procedure, it is necessary to accustom it to it from puppyhood. If the Vizsla is nervous and tries to run away from you, limit yourself to trimming the nails on one paw. The rest should be postponed until the next day. After the procedure, praise your pet for its patience and reward it with its favorite treat. This will help establish a trusting relationship and will speed up the creation of a neat “manicure” in the future.

There are no special requirements for the nutrition of the Hungarian Vizsla. The main conditions are low fat and calorie content of products, as well as the presence of nutrients necessary for the full development of the dog. Lean meat (boiled or scalded with boiling water) is an essential component of a cop’s natural diet. It must be supplemented with cereals, seasonal vegetables and fruits, fermented milk products and boiled eggs (twice a week). Vizsla owners recommend adding vegetable oil (no more than 1 tablespoon) to the animal’s food every day: this will have a beneficial effect on the condition of the coat. To replenish fatty acids, you need to give the cop fish oil.

Please note: If you choose a natural diet, consult your veterinarian regarding mineral and vitamin supplements for dogs.

For convenience, you can limit yourself to dry and wet food of the premium, super-premium or holistic classes, ideally - options for dogs with sensitive digestion. The serving size must match that indicated on the package; increasing it can lead to excess weight.

The diet of a shorthaired pointer should not include:

foods that cause bloating (peas, beans, raw cabbage);
pickled, salty and spicy foods with spices;
milk with high lactose content;
raw, boiled or fried river fish;
tubular bones of any size;
carbohydrate-containing products;
smoked and fried foods;
flour and sweet;
fat meat;
berries.

Since this is an active breed, your dog's bowl needs to be filled with fresh water, preferably bottled, daily. Flow-through water is also suitable if you leave it for 6-8 hours before use.

Hungarian Vizslas feel comfortable both in a private house and in an apartment - however, subject to regular walking. Despite the ability to adapt to harsh climates, dog experts do not recommend keeping these dogs in an enclosure due to the missing undercoat. For winter walks, it is worth purchasing warm clothes for the Hungarian Vizsla: a vest or overalls lined with fleece.

Representatives of the breed need two daily walks, each about 1.5-2 hours. To do this, it is recommended to find a fenced area away from busy traffic and crowds of people. Only here the cops have plenty of time to run around without a leash and stretch their paws. Sports games, such as chasing a frisbee or a ball, as well as agility (going through an obstacle course) will help make your walk more fun and active.

Nutrition

No special diet is required. The most important thing is to provide this active dog with enough energy. You can feed the Vizsla with both natural food and prepared food.

With natural feeding:

70–75% of the diet should be cooked meat;
10–15% - carbohydrates (barley, oatmeal, buckwheat, rice);
5–10% - vegetables and herbs.

Ready-made food for Vizslas should be of the highest quality and balanced, not lower than super premium or holistic class, preferably high-calorie and intended for hunting dogs.

In addition, it is most useful to give additional vitamin complexes (consultation with a veterinarian is required). You need to feed your dog strictly at the same time twice a day (morning and evening). Outside of feeding, the dog should only have access to water. It is not recommended to feed your dog before a walk or active pastime to prevent gastric volvulus.

Meat is the basis of a dog’s diet

Health and diseases of the Hungarian Vizsla

With proper exercise and proper nutrition, representatives of the breed can boast of stable immunity. Hungarian Pointers are not prone to colds - a rarity for short-haired dogs. However, cynologists identify a number of diseases that are most often found in Vizslas. Among them:

dysfunction of the thyroid gland and, as a consequence, hormonal imbalances;
cancerous tumor (most often in unsterilized bitches);
retinal atrophy;
joint dysplasia;
epilepsy;
cataract;
allergy.

Short-haired cops are vaccinated against more dangerous diseases: enteritis, infectious hepatitis, rabies, leptospirosis, canine distemper. The vaccination is done at two months of age with revaccination after 3 weeks (not counting vaccination in the first 7 days of the puppy’s life). After this, for 2 weeks it is necessary to protect the pet from contact with other people and, if possible, not take it out for a walk. At 6 and 12 months, the Hungarian Vizsla is vaccinated with a complex vaccine with annual revaccination. Treatment against ecto- and entoparasites is also required.

How to choose a puppy

The first step towards purchasing a healthy dog is finding a specialized kennel. Private breeders offer a lower cost, but at the same time do not guarantee good health and a balanced psyche of the Hungarian Vizsla.

The next stage is a conversation with the breeder. Ask him to shed light on the nuances:

titles and awards of parents;
conditions for keeping the puppy;
vaccinations received;
diet

Your task is to get as much information as possible about your future four-legged friend. Express your desire to “talk” with the dog and the bitch: this will help identify possible defects in the baby. If the breeder avoids a direct answer, he has something to hide. To avoid the risk, you should contact another nursery.

Now you can start getting to know the litter. Healthy puppies are characterized by excessive activity and curiosity about their surroundings. If your baby's instincts are important to you, give him a little test: tie a game wing to a fishing rod and lower him into the enclosure. At the sight of prey, the Hungarian Vizsla puppy will stand up, and this is a sure sign that you will get a great hunter.

Carefully examine the candidates for the role of your friend. A baby in good health is moderately well-fed, clean, does not limp and is playful towards you. Choose a medium-sized puppy with no noticeable defects. Be prepared for the fact that your baby's appearance will change with age. For greater confidence in compliance with the breed standard, it is worth focusing on adult dogs.

The sex of the Hungarian Vizsla is an equally important selection criterion. Bitches are distinguished by a more docile and friendly character, as opposed to males - independent, capricious and inclined to “challenge” the owner’s leadership. At the same time, females often create additional problems during estrus, which can result in an unwanted pregnancy.

Most often, puppies are put up for sale at 1.5-2 months. At this age, babies have already learned to feed themselves, acquired primary socialization skills, are strong enough and are ready for a new life without maternal care. Buying a younger Vizsla will result in many problems, including an unstable psyche and weakened immunity.

Hungarian Vizsla price

The price of Hungarian Pointer puppies is determined by several factors:

location and popularity of the nursery;
class of the dog - for participation in exhibitions (shows), breeding (breeding) or keeping as a pet (pet);
characteristics of the animal (including compliance with the breed standard);
awards and titles from parents.

The average cost of a Hungarian Vizsla varies from 10,000 to 40,000 rubles. Dogs with an elite pedigree can cost owners more money, while animals with defects cost less. People from the poultry market are attracted by their low price, but there is a high risk of buying a non-purebred dog with a weakened immune system. You should not spare money on your future companion, because the joyful moments that communication with a Hungarian Vizsla will give are priceless!
