The Vizsla Club of America, organized originally in the early 1950's
as the Magyar Vizsla Club, received its present name in order to
facilitate breed recognition by the AKC. The organization has
published a national newsletter since 1953 called The Vizsla
News.
Presently, the VCA
sponsors an annual
national event
which rotates around the
country each year. During this event, the VCA sponsors a
national field championship stake, a national amateur field championship
stake, a national specialty show, national obedience and rally
competitions, and a national agility trial. These competitions
distinguish the VCA as one of the few national
parent breed clubs to offer combined events for their membership.
The
objectives and purpose of the Vizsla Club of America, as defined in
their current constitution and by-laws are as follows: > To encourage and promote
quality in the breeding of purebred vizslas and to do all possible to
bring their natural qualities to perfection
> To encourage the organization of
independent regional vizsla clubs in those localities where
there
are sufficient fanciers of the breed to meet the requirements of The
American Kennel Club (the AKC)
> To urge VCA members and breeders to accept the
standard of
the breed as approved by The American Kennel Club as the only standard
of excellence by which the vizsla shall be judged
> To conduct such dog-related events
as the VCA deems necessary, including but not limited to
sanctioned matches and specialty shows; field trials; hunting tests;
obedience, rally and agility trials, and such other events as may
be sanctioned by the American Kennel Club, under the rules of the
American Kennel Club.
