Wirehaired Vizsla
Club of America
Official AKC Parent Club
The Wirehaired Vizsla Club of America was formed in 2003, in response to a need for breed rescue. Seven WHVs, from puppies to adults, have been rescued and placed by WHVCA Rescue since 2003. We have elected a Board of Directors and incorporated the club as a non-profit organization, in 2007. The growth of this club has been very encouraging with the interest in not only hunting, but conformation showing and other performance events. As a club, we have had a Fun Hunt in Texas, two Fun conformation matches, held in GA and NC, and are looking forward to two more in 2009, one in KS in May, and another in Georgia in the fall of '09. We are participating in "Meet the Breed" presentations at shows around the country. Our first WHVCA Annual Meeting is set for the last weekend in April of 2009 with a Fun Match and fun Hunt planned. I have been a member of the WHVCA since 2006, have been on the Board of Directors since shortly thereafter, and have had an intrumental influence in getting the WHV accepted into the AKC-FSS program. We have high hopes of being accepted into the Misc class of the AKC in the near future!
