Meet the breeder

I'm Cody E., the breeder behind Big Creek Vizslas located in Madrid, IA. Our breeding program focuses on producing well-rounded Vizslas that excel in the field and thrive at home. Health, sound temperament, correct conformation, and strong hunting instincts are all essential components of our breeding program.

Q. & A. with Cody

  • Why did you start breeding?

    As an avid pheasant hunter, I have a deep appreciation for the breed’s natural hunting ability, athleticism, intelligence, and drive. Breeding became a way for us to combine our love of the outdoors, our appreciation for proven hunting ability, and our commitment to producing dogs with wonderful temperaments that could thrive both in the field and at home with their families.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program reflects our commitment to the breed and our desire to produce dogs that bring the same enjoyment to other families that our dogs have brought to ours. We appreciate the importance of thoughtful breeding decisions and strive to match the qualities of our dogs with the goals and lifestyles of the families who welcome our puppies.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Cody partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.

“Puppies are matched once they're old enough for us to evaluate their temperaments and personalities - typically between 7-8 weeks.”
