to improve its soundness, stable temperament, natural hunting ability and

Breeding:
As
members we shall breed only to improve the breed by breeding those Vizslas who conform to the Vizsla

hereditary defects including epilepsy, progressive retinal atrophy,
VonWillebrands, entropian and cranial muscular atrophy. Breeding only dogs who are over two
years of age and have been x-rayed and OFA certified as free from hip
dysplasia.
Sales:
As
members we shall: 1) Not breed, sell, and consign puppies or adult dogs to any
commercial or pet shops; 2) Honestly value the quality of the Vizsla sold and
fairly represent that evaluation and urge puppy purchasers to spay or neuter all
pets which for any reason will not be used for breeding;

4)
Screen all prospective buyers to assure a puppy will have a safe and loving
home; 5) Furnish details on feeding, care, inoculations, pedigrees and written

associations like the TBVC and VCA.
*Both
the TBVC and VCA require all breed stock to be radiographed and specify that no
dog or bitch with the slightest evidence of hip dysplasia will be used for
