HUNGARIAN WIRE-HAIRED VIZSLA : VIDOR VIZSLAS IN MICHIGAN

HUNGARIAN WIRE-HAIRED VIZSLA
VIDOR VIZSLAS IN MICHIGAN

2009 Planned Breedings:

Litter #1-Leah and Ivan, born April 8th 2009 (Sold)

We have bred our "Leah" to "Ivan". Ivan is from the highly successful Zoldmali kennels in Hungary. "Leah" has consistently produced gorgeous pups who excel in the show ring AND the field. She is the top producing dam of her breed in the United States. As we expected, the pups have all been sold well in advance, as her previous litters have been.

Puppies arrived April 8th,and are now in their new homes. Some of these pups will be soon seen in the show rings and doing field events. This combination produced some extraordinary pups!!

"Leah and Miles"- the next generation -

Seraphim My Ride's Here, aka "Winnie"

Litter #2- Ivan and Lenke- Fall 2009- (Sold)

Our second litter will be from "Lenke" and "Ivan". "Lenke" is imported from Hungary,and has impressive field testing credentials from her homeland. She already has some pups here in the US, as well as in several European countries,Australia and Canada. Her offspring, although still young, are excelling in the show ring, and in the field. We expect some excellent puppies with great hunting potential from this combination.

UPDATE- Lenke whelped 8 pups, 5 girls and 3 boys!

All pups are sold!

Litter #3 (sorry this litter is also all reserved)

Our beautiful "Breeze" (TAN, GRCH Vidor's Aura) has passed her hip, eye and cardiac health clearances, and will be bred to Ivan sometime this Fall.

If you are interested in this outstanding pairing,

contact "Breeze's" owner, Lisa Stumpf at 313-655-0988

to be put on the list as an alternate.

**Planned Litter for 2010**

We were so impressed with the Leah/Ivan breeding that we will be repeating it in Winter/Spring of 2010.

We only have two reservations open for this litter. (one is a co-ownership on pick female)

if interested, please fill out the puppy application and I will contact you by phone to discuss availability.

Our Views on Tail Docking

Puppies purchased from us will have full tails. We decided to no longer dock tails based on personal ethical choices. We chose to follow many of our European counterparts who do not, and have not ever, docked tails on Vizslas (either smooth or Wire-haired). The original breed standard for the Wire-Haired Vizsla from Hungary (FCI) and also the US breed standard (UKC) both do not mandate tails to be docked, but instead give the breeder the option to dock or not. That is how we feel a GOOD breed standard should be written,...giving breeders the option to dock tails OR crop ears....not mandating that they MUST , as many various US (AKC) breed standards do.

We also are in accordance with the AVMA's (American Veterinary Medical Association) policy on the matter which you can read by clicking here.

The AVMA also does not believe written breed standards should mandate/dictate such cosmetic alterations and have taken a stronger stand on the issue as of 2008.

Another article of interest from the AVMA on the welfare of dogs in regards to tail docking can be found at this link, some important medical issue to consider are discussed.

We also do not remove dewclaws as there is no sound reason (medical or otherwise) to remove them.There are however articles and research pointing to good reasons for leaving dewclaws on. A few such articles are found on the links below:
