Foundation of Hanafor Vizslas:

After many years showing and trialling Standard Poodles, I became interested in the Hungarian Vizsla.  In the early days, they were relatively scarce.  Over the years their popularity has increased enormously and I have seen many changes in the breed - some of these changes have led to over popularity and an increase in dogs needing rescue or rehousing.

We have tried to incorporate as many photographs as possible on this site.  The aim of 'Hanafor' has always been the welfare of the breed and to selectively breed for quality, type, soundness, working ability and beauty.

In an effort to improve the quality and longevity of the breed in its development, I have imported a total of six males to date.  2001 was a milestone for me with the importation of "Punter" (Aust Grand Ch Hanabrit Ponting The Way (Imp UK) who was bred under my UK prefix 'Hanabrit'.  Right from the start, he made his presence felt being the most awarded Vizsla in Australia for over four years.  All of the dogs imported have contributed significantly not only to 'Hanafor' but the breed as a whole in this country.  Many kennels today have 'Hanafor' dogs as their foundation stock.
