Welcome to Vizsla Club of Northern California Rescue

Serving Northern California from the Oregon border south to Gilroy and east to Fresno, Lake Tahoe, Reno and Carson City, NV

 

Who we are

VCNC is one of the largest AKC Vizsla breed clubs in the United States. Our membership incorporates a large area including parts of Nevada. We have been very active in serious rescue work for many years. Our club members strongly support rescue efforts while also being very involved in showing in conformation, field work, agility, tracking, obedience, rally obedience, and canine freestyle

Where do the dogs come from

In most cases our dogs are owner surrenders. Many circumstances can cause a dog to need a new home. Those are often lifestyle changes due to work, divorce, or children, a move or transfer, or a death in the family. We occasionally get a dog from a shelter situation, but the bulk are from owners that didn't realize how active a Vizsla can be.

What sorts of Vizslas do we get

We do not regularly get puppies into the rescue program. Most are over a year of age and some can be over 5 years of age. A Vizsla is really a puppy until at least 3 years of age and becomes even better at 5 - 7 years old. Vizslas have a long life span and it isn't unusual to hear of 14 year old Vizsla still demanding a daily walk.
