What a wonderful day celebrating Canada’s National Specialty for Smooth and Wirehaired Vizslas July 11th, 2026.
Our sincere thanks go to Judge Fabricio Pastor, Sweepstakes Judge Candice Jensen, our exhibitors, volunteers, sponsors, and everyone who travelled from near and far to make this year’s National Specialty such a success.
Congratulations to every exhibitor who stepped into the ring. Whether you were celebrating a class placement, a major award, your first National, or simply enjoying time with fellow Vizsla enthusiasts, you helped make this event a celebration of our remarkable breed.
Highlights from the day included outstanding performances across Sweepstakes, Veterans, Conformation, Field Classes, Brace, Brood Bitch & Progeny, and both Smooth and Wirehaired Vizslas. From promising young puppies to accomplished veterans, the day reflected the quality, versatility, and spirit of the Vizsla community. Complete results are now available on the Vizsla Canada website here.
