History:

Centuries, about the origin of or It has been difficult to conclude, but it is confirmed that its ancestors were hunting dogs and companion dogs of the Maier nomadic tribe who migrated to Central Europe in groups more than 1,000 years ago and settled in what is now Hungary. Original 10th-century stone etchings show a Maier hunter with a falcon and a Vizsla-like dog. As far back as the 14th century, an early Hungarian manuscript contains a passage about a falcon, which depicts a picture very much like a Vizsla. Apparently because the Vizsla was loved by nobles and generals, it was accidentally and necessarily purified at that time.

Hungary is almost entirely agro-pastoral country, with a large amount of cereals grown; the growing season is long, with hot summers and relatively mild winters due to rain. Wheat, corn, rye, and barley attracted grouse and others, and the Hungarian hares also proliferated. Therefore, a hunting dog adapted to the local climatic conditions and capable of hunting effectively developed naturally. What a hunter needs is agility, carefulness in the completely uncovered open space without being detected by the prey, an extremely sensitive sense of smell, a hunting dog with high hunting skills, in short, a combination of the excellent characteristics of a pointer and a retriever.

World Wars greatly interfered with the development of the Vizsla. At the end of the First World War, the Vizsla was almost extinct, and it survived thanks to the protection of a few loyal fans. The years between the two world wars were difficult, but Vizsla lovers did their best to protect it from extinction. Hungarians who escaped before the Soviet occupation of Hungary in 1945 brought it into Australia, Italy and Germany. As a result, some were introduced into the Czech Republic, Turkey and the southern part of the former Soviet Union.

The Vizsla was introduced to the United States in the 1950s and was registered in the United States in 1960. As a hunting dog, the Vizsla has plenty of energy and long-lasting tolerance, while at the same time being a docile, friendly companion dog.
