I had a great experience with Christine and Derek. I was a little reluctant to buy a puppy online, but I worked out great. I received a healthy, beautiful sweet, smart puppy. Derek and Christine answered all my questions right away, and kept me updated along the way about my puppy. I am from Hungary where vizslas are originating. Derek's vizslas are resembling the original features. I appreciate all their help with the transport also. We are truly blessed with our little vizsla. Thank you very much!

We had a wonderful experience with Derek. He was incredibly responsive, caring, and took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions before we made the decision to purchase a puppy. Derek even arranged a convenient pickup location and met us in person. We are now the proud owners of an adorable, loving Vizsla puppy named Scout. He has a clean bill of health and is absolutely perfect!

Derek was super responsive and accommodating in getting our sweet little puppy (Jupiter) picked up. He gave us a nice little to-go bag with lots of food, puppy pads, vaccination records, AKC paperwork, and a couple of toys! Everyone loves how beautiful she is, and we get stopped regularly with people commenting on how great she looks. She was a happy and healthy puppy when we picked her up, and we’re super grateful we chose Western Vizslas to get her from. She got a great first checkup from the vet, and is settling in nicely with her new family! Thanks again for everything, Derek! We’re beyond grateful and happy!!

I could not have asked for a better experience in looking for our newest addition to join the family. Especially with no prior knowledge or experience with Vizslas. Derek was extremely thorough throughout the entire process, answered every question, and gave many suggestions as well. You can truly feel the devotion and care they have for their litters and their new home. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking to add a beautiful Vizsla to their home.

Derek was so responsive and the experience was better than anyone could have asked for. He drove all the way to Connecticut from West Virginia to bring our new pup home. He quickly and easily answered any questions and the process was easier than i could even explain. Hera has made an amazing adjustment and as healthy as can be. Western Viszla has bred amazing puppies and i couldnt reccommend them anymore if i tried! Hera is such a blessing and is so BEYOND loved!
