GROOMING WIREHAIRED VIZSLAS (AND THEIR COAT TYPES) A question we get often, "What is the Wirehaired Vizsla's coat like and how do you groom them?" It is not as harsh of a wirehair as a GWP, nor is it a soft coat, but still a pleasant, coarse coat to pet and groom. Coat type in a wirehaired vizsla can be short, medium, thick and long. I put in thick as there are some coats that need monthly grooming (like a thick but not necessarily a long coat) and some coats only need grooming one or two times per year. Some hunting wirehairs that are very active, rarely need to be stripped as their soft wirehair is stripped naturally from briars, brush, brambles, or branches.
