Origin & History
The dog breed, which has its origin in Hungary, should already have originated in the 18th century. The Pannonian Bracke, the Sloughi and the Turkish chief dog are said to have been the ancestors of Magyar Vizsla.
Further introductions from the 19th century were the Hannoversche Schweißhund, the Pointer and the German Shorthair. Thus, the Vizsla was adapted to the changing demands of European hunting and preserved as a breed. As from 1848 the hunting privilege of the nobility was abolished, many other breeds of dogs were used for hunting in Hungary, so that native breeds such as the Magyar Viszla were displaced. Today, the Hungarian master dog is popular all over the world, for example there are 21 Vizsla clubs in the USA.
