Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Bender Vizslas located in Rochester, WA. Our program is focused on breeding Vizslas that are healthy, well-structured, have outstanding temperaments and maintain the Vizsla as a versatile hunting companion. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home! PLEASE make sure the Vizsla is the right breed for you! The article below can help to help you decide, but there is no substitute for actually meeting some Vizslas https://www.vcaweb.org/breed/why_a_vizsla.shtml.

Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In 2011, I got my first Vizsla from my amazing mentors, Jill Brennan and Eleesa Markham-Hoffman of Tierah Vizslas. They have a combined 70 years in bettering the Vizsla breed. They have guided me through initially competing in dog sports and are now guiding me through starting my own breeding program. You may be directed to one of them, as we frequently cobreed litters.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are golden rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

Price

We keep our price at or below local backyard breeders and high volume breeders or puppy mills to dissuade people from buying from less reputable breeders. ”
