If you own a Vizsla bitch, inevitably the question will arise of
whether to breed from her. Those who have been in the breed for
any length of time will probably understand the market for
Vizsla puppies, but those who are new to the breed and have not
had the opportunity to appreciate what breeding could entail
ought to consider the pros and cons. I must make it quite clear
that there is little profit in breeding Vizsla puppies. If the
puppies are well reared and cared for, costs may just be covered
if they are sold at seven or eight weeks old, but since the
Vizsla really is only for the specialist they are certainly not
suitable for all homes. Anyone wishing to breed their bitch
should consider where their responsibility lies....
