I'm Denise D., the breeder behind Nemes Wirehaired Vizslas located in Brookville, OH. We are committed to preserving the quality, health, and work ethic of the Wirehaired Vizsla. Our breeding program is built on four core principles: Proven Performance, Health First, Ethical & Purposeful Pairings & Long-Term Commitment.
Q. & A. with Denise
Why did you start breeding?
Our journey with the Wirehaired Vizsla began after years with its sister breed, the Smooth Vizsla. While we admired the smooth-coated variety, we sought a dog that could better withstand the harsh hunting conditions of the north-central United States.
After careful research, we found the Wirehaired Vizsla: similar drive and personality, but with a sturdier build and a weather-resistant coat.
What makes your program special?
Our journey with the Wirehaired Vizsla began with a deep admiration for the breed’s intelligence, versatility, and soulful nature. We are committed to improving and preserving this remarkable breed through a selective, science-backed breeding program rooted in integrity and care where we hold ourselves to a high-quality breeding pool.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Wirehaired Vizsla
About Flair
Flair is a prodigy of Nemes, a Hungarian import from distinguished field and conformation lines. Her dam is a half-sibling to the first Wirehaired Vizsla to earn the NAVHDA Versatile Champion title, and her sire also holds the NAVHDA Versatile Champion title. We are pleased to include Flair in our breeding program.
Flair readily responds to structured training protocols, demonstrating a strong prey drive, consistent focus, and the ability to relax when needed. She works tirelessly in the field, pacing herself effectively, and adjusts her hunting style to succeed in diverse environments.
Flair exhibits a natural retrieve, an excellent nose, and a medium to long-range staunch point. She excels in waterfowl hunting and upland bird pursuits, including pheasant, grouse, partridge, dove, and quail.
Her russet gold wiry coat is low-maintenance and highly durable in challenging weather conditions.
Flair shares her sire Nemes’ gentle demeanor, displaying affectionate behavior toward both her fur housemates and human family members.
