HUNGARIAN VIZSLA HEALTH INFORMATION

 

The Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW offers the following information available on breed health.

Seems like just about everyone has an opinion on the health issues of any breed.  It may be based on their personal experience, or just 'Chinese whispers'.
Hopefully, it's sometimes based on facts.

Though any condition is worrying to the owner of that dog, it appears that the Hungarian Vizsla has a low incidence of serious health issues.
In 2009 the Hungarian Vizsla Club of NSW conducted a survey to try and establish a 'baseline' for the breed's health status, and to provide an opportunity to discover any current or emergent health issues.  It allowed the Club to gain factual information, rather than the 'rumours' that so frequently are spread through ignorance.

The summary of the results of that survey are included on this page, along with some excellent articles on health issues within the breed put together by our Health Officer, Karyn Orzeszko.  We hope they will be useful to people wanting to know more about the health of the breed in Australia.
