Wire Viz Puppies

We are dedicated to producing puppies of excellent quality and continually improving the qualities of our future sires and dams, breeding for excellence in temperament, ability, health and structure. We typically have only one or two litters a year and each litter is carefully planned as the next generation of Konza Vadasz Wirehaired Vizslas. We keep at least one pup of our choice from every litter to potentially continue our breeding program as the older dogs retire.
We only breed dogs who are at least 2 years old and who have certifications for hip soundness and eye health. Our dogs are tested and certified by OFA, PennHIP and CERF. Some of our males are available for stud to approved bitches. All approved bitches will be at least 2 years old and have OFA and/or PennHIP and CERF certifications.
Because of the very limited gene pool in this breed, we strive to keep the inbreeding coefficient as low as possible in our litters. This requires careful study of the extended pedigrees of the sires and dams, going back eight or more generations and having foundation stock from different lines. Our dogs were carefully selected for their compatible pedigrees from a number of excellent lines in Europe and Canada.
But, merely producing litter after litter from the same sire and dam does not improve the gene pool, only a lot of puppies with identical pedigrees. Developing wirehaired vizsla lines and expanding the gene pool requires a number of males and females from different, unrelated lines, not just a single pair.

Our pups are whelped and raised in our home, socialized from birth and get lots of love and attention. We don't rush weaning and like to keep them until they're 8-9 weeks old to give them a good, strong start in life with extra socialization before they go to their new homes. They begin weaning at around 5 weeks, when they've outgrown their whelping box and move into a big pen. We introduce solid food at this point, since the dam is ready for a little time off by this point, but still nurses them 3 x a day. Gradually she tapers off nursing until they're eating 3 square meals of puppy food a day, at about 7-8 weeks. They are well socialized, vet checked, vaccinated and on parasite preventives before they go to their new homes. All of our puppies are microchipped with HomeAgain chips. They will have been introduced to the crate and comfortable in it, taken a number of car rides to get used to traveling, introduced to pen-raised birds and, weather permitting, swimming. They meet friends and children. We play "Wing-on-a-string" along with fetching and tracking games.

We have puppies available.

We expect puppy-buyers to have thought properly about buying a WV puppy and we do screen buyers for suitability. A wirehaired vizsla is not the breed for everyone and we always want to ensure that our pups will be placed with families who are able and prepared to meet the needs of this breed. We only have puppies available from time to time. Pups are reserved by deposit in advance and buyers can usually expect to be on a waiting list. Our reservation agreement explains our policies and guarantee, as well as our expectations.

Our puppies are guaranteed healthy, fit and of sound mind & body. We may also occasionally have older, started dogs available. Contact us for more information about a puppy reservation or started dogs.
