Q. & A. with K
Why did you start breeding?
Our program got its start back in 2005, when we brought home our first Vizsla. Fast forward many years later and we are hooked on the breed’s intelligence, athleticism and versatility. We enjoy proving our dogs in competition in AKC events and sharing this wonderful breed with our extended family of owners.
What makes your program special?
Moonlight Vizslas is a small preservation breeder that strives to improve the breed with each of our litters. We only breed dogs of sound temperament, overall good health, and with the breed's purpose in mind. Our dogs are proven in AKC competition and are health tested before breeding. We offer a lifetime of support and mentorship to our owners and our litters are raised via Puppy Culture.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
