The exact origin of the Hungarian Vizsla is a bit of a mystery. Some say their ancestors existed centuries ago, and others say they were developed in the 20th century. There are some prints that date back about 1,000 years that depict early settlers in Hungary with similar dogs. They were often referred to as the Yellow Turkish Hunting Dog.
