The Vizela Boys

[Josie]

Here are the two cheeky boys Otto and Albie Albie nearly pulled my arm out of the socket on his lead but the minute they were off the lead they were amazing! Their recall was spot on. Although I did get the occasional surprise leap from Albie. Who has rather a hard head!

the Visela boys look remarkably like Viszlak. Hmm.

some breed history on the near-extinction & revival of Viszlak, 3 separate times:
A Bit of Vizsla History - Chapter 1 | Toldin

No one is certain if Weims were among the breeds used post-WW1 to re-establish the Viszla breed [Weims were outcrossed to Viszla, tho] - English Setters were definitely among the Viszla outcrosses, as were GSPs & GWPs - hence the occasional birth of longhaired Viszla pups [Setter coats], & the development of wirehaired Viszla.
In 1920, the Trianon peace-treaty splintered Hungary, & suddenly large numbers of dogs were on the wrong side of new national borders. Again, a genetic bottleneck. // Breed numbers collapsed again during & after WW2; thankfully, Viszlak are now well-established & widely distributed around the world, so the breed is not at risk.
