Description

The whole Upduck gang is finally back together, and they’re joined by a special guest: Ben Fretz from North Country Sporting Dogs up in Alberta, Canada. Ben dives deep into the world of Hungarian Wirehaired Vizslas—how this rare, versatile breed works in the uplands, waterfowl blinds, and even on big game. From the breed’s young history to its tiny worldwide numbers, he shares what it takes to develop a solid line, why cooperation is this breed’s superpower, and how they compare to German Wirehairs and smooth-coated Vizslas. Expect great stories about running dogs in the foothills, dealing with Canadian bureaucracy, crossing the border with pups, and chasing every critter Alberta has to offer.
