Which North American organization recognized the breed in 1986, following an exclusive field test held the previous year?
Answer
North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA)
The journey to North American recognition involved several steps across different decades and organizations. The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) recognized the breed earlier, in 1977. The North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA) followed suit by recognizing the breed in 1986. Furthermore, NAVHDA was proactive regarding field performance, having held its very first exclusive field tests specifically for the Wirehaired Vizsla in 1976, demonstrating early commitment to evaluating the breed’s working capabilities even before formal recognition by that association.
