The Tampa Bay Vizsla Club
VERSATILITY PROGRAM
These tests are designed to help the overall improvement of the Vizsla breed, showing the versatility of the Vizsla as a good looking, well mannered hunting dog.
Altered or intact, AKC or ILP registered dogs are eligible for this award.
Vizsla Versatility Program
The Vizsla Club of America will designate dogs completing the requirements as Versatile Champions (VC). The letters VC will follow your dogs’ registered name. The VC designation is a VCA award and is not recognized by the AKC however, the title may be included in advertising. The VC designation obtained by progeny is worth 3 points towards the calculation of the sire and dam’s Registry of Merit qualifications. Once a year, a list of all new VC’s will be published in the Vizsla Club of America’s Vizsla News.
