Beware unofficial Rescue
It has come to our attention that there are a few websites offering Vizsla Rescue.
In the UK there are only two official (KC registered) Rescue centres: HV Society Rescue and HV Club Welfare. Both work to rehome any Vizsla of any age and work on a donation basis.
For further details about rehoming please contact Society Rescue or find the details of Club Welfare on their website.
HELP from everyone needed - PLEASE!
Please everyone help us with this unique opportunity to eliminate PM (Polymyositis) from our beautiful breed.
DNA is needed from affected Vizslas; their Sire, Dam and siblings.
The DNA is going to Clare Rusbridge (vet neurologist) to help find a genetic marker for PM. When a marker is found this will result in a test being available for individual dogs.
There is a list of affected Vizslas here (click on the dogs name to see the pedigree) or contact Di Addicott on 01576 202258 (please leave a message) to find out if your Vizsla's DNA is needed.
You can get a DNA collection kit preferably from Di or directly from Clare.
This DNA collection is nothing to do with toenail clippings or the DNA sent to the Animal Health Trust for epilepsy research.
Please help us to help the Vizsla and rid our breed of PM so that Vizsla breeding can stop being a lottery and we can breed with our eyes open.
Please contact Emma Faulkner (Vizsla owning vet) if you have any other queries or have previously felt unsure about PM. Emma says "I will help as much as possible in a totally unbiased way."
