Addenhund (“noble hound”) vizslas are elegant, intelligent, cooperative and fun. My vizslas are valued family members, interwoven in my life, living in my home, friends with my friends, and regularly out hunting, swimming and adventuring with me in New Zealand’s varied landscape.
I breed selectively, focusing on preserving the breed’s special characteristics of versatile hunting prowess and excellent temperament, underpinned by good health and structure. Every breeding is a carefully considered one, sometimes with top genetics from overseas, to produce quality pups with potential to be high performers in hunting and other activities, and who will bring their people many years of enjoyment.
My pups get the best possible start in life, born in my home, raised by happy healthy mothers, and then introduced to quality raw food and increasing levels of stimulation and activity on our lifestyle block. I follow a programme of neurological stimulation; exposure to various sounds, sights, smells, textures and tastes; socialisation; and introductions to deer hide, hooves, game feathers on a string and ducks. I devote my time to rearing healthy pups, with stable temperaments who are actively curious, responsive and resilient. Natural hunting ability and temperament is considered when matching pups to homes.
All enquiries about the breed are welcome, and from time to time there will be puppies available to approved homes. Please view the Addenhund website for more information.
