“Thanks a lot to the Vizsla Club of NSW Committee for inviting me and also to the Stewards for their kind helpful work.
It is always an interesting task for me to judge Vizslas in a foreign country, and to observe the development of my national breed for away from the country of origin. Thanks to the exhibitors for the honouring entry numbers!
In many countries the Vizslas are too small with light bones looking a bit Whippet like. The other fault in so many countries the too dark brownish-red colour which is a fault as per standard. Here most of the dogs were absolutely free of this faults and it was heartwarming for me!
I would like to draw your attention to a fault that is very common in foreign countries too. The heads not meeting the standard. I found some too broad, course skulls, too strong jaws part Roman noses and too heavy deep lips, too much stops. These are all faults according to the standard and take away from the lean and noble head attributes of the Vizsla. The Vizsla have an unique head, note the same as other gun dogs. Never looking like GSP’s, Weimaraner’s or Pointer’s heads. Don’t forget the word moderate, it is the most important word in the standard special about the head. Moderate wide, moderate stop, moderate long, moderate deep.
I saw luckily very few sloping towlines and unbalanced angulations in front upright, behind too much. It is a dangerous direction nowadays in the show world in many breeds. It is may be eye catching, flashy or showy but not for a Vizsla. Vizsla should have straight, horizontal topline and balanced, moderate angles”
Marianne Gyarfas (Hungary
Please note: This critique is unedited – Marianne has clarified the following:-
“when I write muzzle I think the part of the head from the stop to the nose. With other word fore face. When I write jaw I mean the side part of the skull between the ear and eye. With other work cheek. If I write this part is too wide I mean the cheek bones are too emergent and covered too much connective tissue? (I’m not sure it is the right word but sure you understand it)”
