What notable issue complicated the early development efforts of Vasas Jozsef and Gresznarik Laszlo?
Answer
The approaching and subsequent devastation of the Second World War
The intensive, early stages of breeding were severely hampered by the unstable political climate in Central Europe, which was exacerbated by the approach of the Second World War. Battle lines traversed the specific areas where Vasas Jozsef and Gresznarik Laszlo were working on the breed development. This conflict resulted in immense devastation to the region, leading to the near eradication of both the smooth and wirehaired Vizsla lines. Amidst this societal collapse and the total loss of official records, the dedication of the surviving enthusiasts became paramount to preserving the breed's existence.
