At just 4-months old, Tempo, Holly Hatfield’s Hungarian vizsla, is a Louisville bird dog that keeps steady and looks stylish doing it.

“Here is he figuring out just what a nose is for,” says Hatfield, regarding the above photo.

Vizsla Facts: Vizslas faced and survived several near-extinctions in their history, including being overrun by English pointers and German shorthair pointers in the 1800s and again to near-extinction after World War II. A careful search of Hungary and a poll of Hungarian sportsmen revealed only about a dozen Vizslas of the true type still alive in the country. From that minimum stock, the breed rose to prominence once again. The various “strains” of the Vizsla have become somewhat distinctive as individuals bred stock that suited their hunting style.
