Gottlieb, Gay, The Complete Vizsla, Howell Book House, Inc. 1992. ISBN 0-87605-377-0
The Vizsla is said to be a distinguished looking dog of aristocratic bearing, sought-after by sportsmen and, in many ways, the ideal working gundog combining all three disciplines of hunting, pointing and retrieving. It is also making a name for itself in the show ring, and in this comprehensive book, the author highlights the history of the breed and reveals the art of training a dog for show and field. The breed Standard is analized, breeding principles are discussed, and guidelines are supplied for choosing a Vizsla puppy.

Not Your Average Dog
Stott, Winnie, Not Your Average Dog, 1998
A wonderful Vizsla book written by an avid fan and breeder. Winnie Stott has been involved with Vizslas since the late 1960’s. This is part journal, part reminiscence, part humour – lots of ‘bad dog’ stories to make you chuckle – with lots of sound common sense about living with Vizslas interleaved through all. Printed on quality, glossy paper with hundreds of great colour photographs, this is a very professional presentation for a privately published book. If you are also into Vizslas, you’re going to want this book in your collection.
