About the Hungarian Vizsla Club.
Foundation of the Club
The Hungarian Vizsla Club was founded, nearly 40 years ago, by 25 members
and the Kennel Club issued it a licence. Its first AGM took place at
Worcester on 24th June 1968.
The declared objectives of the Club were as follows:
The object of the Club is to encourage high standards in breeding for
working ability and conformation;
To promote interest in training the Vizsla for Field Trials, as gundog, for
obedience show and personal companion;
To work actively to protect and advance the interests of the breed by
encouraging sportsmanlike competition at Field Trails, Breed Shows and
competitive Obedience events;
To urge members to breed only fully registered dogs that are within the
Vizsla standard;
To support research and educational work to reduce and/or eliminate
undesirable or detrimental congenital traits from the breed;
To conduct Field Trails, Breed Shows and Obedience Trails and training
courses;
Owners and/or handlers should be encouraged to attend working gun dog
classes and obedience training classes.
Subsequently, another group, entitled 'Hungarian Vizsla Society' was formed.
There are similarities between the Club and the Society, the main one being
the continued protection of a much-loved and admired breed which has many,
many years of history. The Club and Society also work collaboratively in the
welfare and rescue of Vizslas that need re-homing, for whatever reason.
