Statement from the Breed Health Coordinator for the Hungarian Vizsla
The Canine Genetics Centre (CGC) at the University of Cambridge are searching for any gene which may be associated with the transmission of epilepsy. Their ultimate aim is to produce a test which could be used to identify any gene that is linked to epilepsy. This would then enable informed breeding choices to reduce the incidence of epilepsy.
There has been much speculation and misunderstanding regarding this research programme which is supported by both breed clubs. It is completely confidential and is not in any way linked with any other health information compiled anywhere else by any other individuals or groups. All samples sent directly to CGC are handled with total confidentiality. As the Kennel Club Breed Health Coordinator for Hungarian Vizsla, I alone will know of you and your vizsla if you have contacted me directly.
This disease has a devastating effect on the lives of not only the dogs but also the families with whom the dog lives.
The research still needs more vizsla, both AFFECTED and those UNAFFECTED who are over the age of 8 years old. It involves a simple cheek swab, nothing more invasive, it is quick and easy to do!

Kennel Club Breed Health and Conservation Plan (BHCP) for the Hungarian Vizsla
This is a project run by The Kennel Club that gathers all available health information and data about each specific breed and compiles it into a single document. This document is given to the breed clubs and is used as a basis to collaboratively create a strategy to tackle the health priorities of that particular breed. The breed health and conservation plans ensure that all health concerns are identified through evidence-based criteria. The plans provide breeders with useful information and resources to support them in making balanced breeding decisions that make health a priority:
