Hungarians who fled the Russian occupation in 1945 smuggled Vizslas out of the country because the Russians considered the dogs to be a symbol of aristocracy and wanted to destroy them.

Answer: 1960

The first Vizslas were brought to the USA in 1950.

7. Competitively, Vizslas are used in which of these?

Answer: All of them

The Vizslas intelligence, trainability, nose, quickness, stamina and desire to please allow it to excel in all these areas.

8. One of the most striking characteristics of the Vizsla is that they:

Answer: Are self-colored (nails, nose and eye rims are variations of the same color)

A black nose is unacceptable; coat color is golden rust with no black in it; any white is severely limited to a small area of the chest and the tips of the toes; the tail is docked to two-thirds of its original length.

9. In 2010, out of 143 breeds of dogs ranked in popularity by the American Kennel Club, Vizslas ranked around which number?

Answer: 54

Vizslas are not for everyone; they are high-energy, high-maintenance dogs in terms of the amount of exercise and training they require. If left alone or unexercised, they WILL get into trouble, but if you're willing to give them the time they need, the payback in companionship is immeasurable.

10. Breeders and admirers of the breed sometimes refer to Vizslas by which name?

Answer: Velcro dogs

Vizslas are extremely people-oriented dogs. In fact, they do not do well kenneled and away from the family; they crave human contact. Having a Vizsla is like having a 4-legged extension of yourself.
