Chapter 3 - The Standard

The Standard outlines the necessary features of a particular breed - although the functional principles of the dog remain the same, each breed is unique in its appearance. The Standard provides the blueprint and it is to this prototype that all breeders should refer. Thus, an image of the Hungarian Vizsla is provided as a fundamental reference for all who wish to advance the breed. Many breeders will have their own idea of their 'ideal' Vizsla, but does it fit the Standard? The Standard must be studied and learned in order that the breeder understands how the structure of a dog suits its function. The judge must also know how to interpret the Standard, for it is he who judges the physical and mental attributes of the dogs in the ring and their level of excellence in the field.....
