Hess Farms Vizslas - Iowa Vizsla Breeders

Justin was born and raised in Western Iowa and at a young age fell in love with pheasant hunting. Growing up on the farm provided opportunities to hunt every weekend. When his parents finally agreed to get him an 8 week old GSP at the age of 13, he never looked back. Moving to St. Louis in his early 20's he met the love of his life, Michelle. Michelle grew up with dogs but lived in the suburbs. She quickly fell in love with upland hunting. Having hunted over many Vizslas in western Iowa they purchased their first Vizsla in 2006. In 2011, Michelle found her niche with Koda, their second Vizsla, while competing on a National level in Dock Dogs and even earned themselves an invite to the Dock Dogs World Championship. Talk about versatility! By 2011, most of the wild bird hunting opportunities had dried up in the midwest. Justin and Michelle were introduced to Field Trials by Jarrett and Allison Bell. Thinking this was just a fake hunt, Justin was apprehensive. After their first trial with Sig at 6 months old they were hooked. They moved further to the country, bought horses, a living quarters trailer, more dogs, and the rest is history. ​ *Members of the Gateway Vizsla Club *Members of National Vizsla Association (NVA) *Former National Vizsla Association (NVA) Board Member (Justin) *Current President of National Vizsla Association (NVA) (Justin( *Co-Chair National Vizsla Association (NVA) Quail Championship (Justin) *Secretary and Chair of Gateway Vizsla Club Field Trials *Former Gateway Vizsla Club Board Member (Justin) At Hess Farms Vizslas, we strive to provide the perfect match for both our buyers and our puppies. There are a wide range of puppy personalities and strengths in every litter that will excel in different areas. Being that we raise these puppies in our home and watch them from the moment of birth, we will be sure to find the perfect fit for you and your needs. We encourage our puppy buyers to allow us to recommend the puppy that will be the best fit for their desired lifestyle. All puppies are well socialized beginning at a young age and are born and raised in our house. They will be up to date on vaccinations and worming upon going to their new families. We only breed dogs that are proven in the field and the house, so the amount of times we breed is very limited. ​ We guarantee the health of every puppy from our home to be free from genetic disorders, including hip dysplasia. All of our dogs undergo OFA Hip Certification at 2 years of age to determine the presence of hip dysplasia, which is the most common inherited disease of the Vizsla breed. ​ We have moved to our beloved farms in Iowa to build our dream home.
