Cliff Boggs has been working with Vislas for some forty years, and his depth of knowledge is well worth any hassle you may have to go through to get a copy of either editions of his book . The chapters on history, and the pictures of early Vizslas are an education in themselves. This was the first book I bought on Vizslas back when I had just my first dog. While there is probably no perfect breed book(it would be too big to read)both of these books, edition one and two have breed information that any vizsla owner should have at their fingertips, especially if thinking of showing, trialing, or breeding. I recommend you get this, read it cover to cover, and then go out and buy all the other vizsla books!

This book was very informative about the Vizsla. It is a must read if you are interested in getting this breed of dog. it is very important to understand how to care and interact with your specific breed of dog. He is a very sensitive, intelligent and active dog. There of course is more information than needed for our present purpose of just having a great family dog. It talks about training for competitions and shows and breeding. Some of that information was still useful in knowing how the dogs love to constantly be mentally as well as physically challenged. The breeding section helped in understanding how they develop when puppies before we get them at 7 or 8 weeks old. The information on the diseases is a bit out dated. There are many vaccines today. There is a newer version out, but it is still an old print from the 90's. I do feel this older version was still useful as long as the reader is aware that some of the medical information is not useful. Talk with you vet about the vaccines and preventable disease your dog will hopefully never experience. We also enjoyed reading The Versatile Vizsla by Marion Coffman.2004 edition.
