Wire-haired Vizsla Clubs and Registrations

The wire-haired Vizsla is not currently recognized by the AKC as an official breed. The breed is, however, recognized by the World Canine Federation, Continental Kennel Club, The Canadian Kennel Club, and The Kennel Club of the UK.

"The breed is recognized in the USA by the UKC (United Kennel Club), which allows it to be shown in conformation, field events, obedience, agility, dock diving etc. Any breed recognized by FCI (European organization) is also recognized by the UKC." - Carolyn DeFiore, Vidor Hungarian Wire Haired Vizslas of Michigan
