I'm the breeder behind Wasatch Mountain Vizslas located in Draper, UT. I strive to maintain the Vizsla breed standard by raising structurally sound and correct puppies with excellent temperaments. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on his or her family.
About Judy
My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond. My program is built upon a foundation of love, admiration, and respect for the Vizsla. I strive to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive and have wonderful temperaments.
What makes Judy’s program special
I am very proud to be breeding these incredible dogs. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts. I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, or as beloved companions.

Judy’s certifications & recognitions
Puppy Culture Breeder, Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, AKC Breeder of Merit
I do everything I can to socialize my puppies. I want them to be easily trainable and have a smooth transition to their new home. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Sound Stimulation, Early Neurological Stimulation, Car Rides, Puppy Culture, Basic Obedience Commands, Human Interactions, Puppy Temperament Evalulation, Stairs, Puppy Culture, Bird Introduction, Puppy Manners, Clicker Training, Crate Training, and Leash Walking.
All puppies receive their first vaccination and a health check by our vet before going to their new homes.
We send our puppies home with Microchip, Blanket with Littermates' and Mom's scents, Volhard Personality Test, Vaccinations, Toy with Littermates' Scent, Food Starter Bag, Certificate of Health, Breed Club Registration, and AKC Registration.
Judy offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“We do not ship puppies; we prefer families to come to our home to meet us and the pack. This allows buyers to ask questions and see how their puppies were raised.”
Why Judy started breeding
My love for Vizslas inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure puppies get the best start in life. I play an active role in various clubs, both locally and nationally, and am always researching ways to improve my program and my Vizsla lines.
