Welcome to Salish Wirehaired Vizslas

Salish Wirehaired Vizslas is a family owned kennel in Washington state. Inspired by dogs exhibiting beautiful breed type, athleticism, and function instinctually as hunters and sporting companions in sound health and spirit. While mostly breeding for ourselves and personal friends we occasionally have puppies and started dogs available. We enjoy exploring wild places, upland and waterfowl hunting, conformation showing, hunt testing, and scent work with our dogs. They are intertwined into and included in nearly every aspect of our lives and live with us in our home.
A lifelong connoisseur of all things animals, Tarah grew up on a farm in Washington showing horses and hiking with the family dog. She holds a BS in Equine Science and completed Colorado State University's Equine Reproduction Short Course. Her career has been spent working in the horse industry in breeding, training, farm management roles and as a Veterinary Technician.

The Wirehaired Vizsla

Developed in Hungary in the 1930's, the Wirehaired Vizsla was intended to be a versatile dog for the foot hunter.
