Dust jacket notes: "This is an indispensable reference work for those with a serious interest in the Hungarian Vizsla. It provides comprehensive information on this unique gundog. A special feature is the coverage for the first time in one volume of the Hungarian origins of the breed and its history since arriving in Great Britain, with special reference to the particular qualities of the breed and every aspect of its care....The Hungarian, American and British breed standards are described and compared and there are comprehensive lists of all Show Champions and the achievements of the breed both in the ring and in the field. There is a most improtant contribution on training the Vizsla to work in the field by Louise Petrie-Hay, an authority on this subject. Finally, the book is well illustrated with many original photographs, including 16 pages in full colour."

5.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive book on Vizsla's,
By rogern@axiomfm.co.uk (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hungarian Vizsla (Breed Books Canine Library) (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book, full of photographs and very detailed information about all aspects of the breed. It is certainly the most comprehensive book on Vizslas that I have seen. It covers the different breed standards in Hungary, UK & US, history of the breed, breeding, showing, training, working, infact I can't think of anything that you would wish to know that isn't covered in this beautiful tome.I believe the book is currently out of print, I managed to get hold of the last copy that the old publishers had and although expensive,(I paid £40.00) it is a joy to own. I have it on good authority (The Hungarian Vizsla Society - UK) that Gay Gottlieb is in the process of producing an updated addition which is supposed to be available late 1998. As soon as it is available I will be purchasing a copy. I thoroughly recommend that anyone who owns or is interested in Vizslas gets hold of a copy, you will not be disappointed.
