Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas
We breed a great family and hunting dog, the Wirehaired Vizsla.
Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas
Wirehaired Vizslas (WHV) are versatile dogs. They are instinctual hunters with a natural point and retrieve. They have great noses for tracking and are eager to work. These dogs are also great family dogs and form a strong bond with their families. They are a bit protective but are gentle with kids. They are cuddlers, are loving, and can be couch potatoes. Don't let this fool you, though; they are highly active dogs. Their most distinctive feature is their dense, wiry coat and bearded face. In our opinion, these dogs are the best!
Frisbees, Farms, and Furry Friends: The Wallendal's Journey with Wirehaired Vizslas
Eric and Megan Wallendal are full-time farmers and dog lovers. Both of us grew up on farms (Eric on the family farm we currently farm and Megan on her family's Christmas Tree Farm). We both have a serious love of the outdoors and ultimate frisbee. We met playing ultimate frisbee in 2007, and we finally married in 2014. We still continue to play ultimate frisbee, and our dogs are our sideline cheerleaders. We welcomed our first daughter in 2019 and a second in 2022. Our daughters love the dogs and interacting with the pups. We spend time with our kids and they are often accompanying us hunting or dog training. We also enjoy hiking, reading, playing board games or doing puzzles and are Marvel Nerds.
In 2011, we decided we needed to add a furry family member. We searched for a dog who could come on our adventures. A dog that could keep up on our runs, hike, hunt, cuddle, listen, handle the winter, and basically be awesome. We stumbled across the Wirehaired Vizsla breed and fell in love. Gambit was a great addition to our little family.
We searched for our second WHV in 2015 and discovered it had become even harder to find a WHV in the US. We ended up getting our second WHV, Quill, from Hungary (Zoldmali Kennels). Our love of the breed (and our dogs) pushed us to start showing Quill and form a kennel. We want to produce quality dogs that fulfill their breed standards to the highest standard! Having had this breed since 2011, we are passionate about and dedicated to promoting a healthy wirehaired vizsla for showing, hunting, and hunt competitions, with careful consideration of all health, genetic test results, and compatibility.

ABOUT Our Dogs
Our Dogs live in our home and are with us all the time. While these are working, hunting, show dogs, they are expected to live with us peacefully and follow our house rules. They love laying on the beds and couches (whoever gets to the bed first at night gets to sleep on it). This breed loves soft things. Velcro Vizsla is a definite thing in our home. When I go to the bathroom, I fully expect all the dogs waiting outside the door when I come out. We do believe they are wonderful family pets, these dogs are amazing with our children. Our pups do get walks or training daily, we do believe this creates a calm house dog. We love having that connection when a dog is asleep at our feet while we work (as I write this!) or cuddling on the couch with us at night. We are sure these dogs will do anything you teach of them. We are blessed to have these energetic, loyal and loving dogs!
