The Vizsla Club of America Versatility Certificate (VC) Program is designed to showcase the versatility of the Vizsla as a good-looking, well-mannered family companion and hunting dog. Introduced in 1981, the VCA Versatility Certificate Program recognizes those Vizslas who have met specific standards through performance testing and adherence to the breed standard. The Versatility Certificate Program tests dogs in three areas: hunting ability, obedience, and conformation.
Vizsla clubs can host versatility and/or height measurement tests during the year. Altered or intact, AKC or PAL registered Vizsla are eligible to participate in the tests and height measurements and work towards the VC award.
The Vizsla Club of America will designate dogs completing the requirements as Versatility Certificate (VC) recipients. The letters VC will follow your dog’s registered name. The VC designation is a VCA award and is not recognized by the AKC. The VC title, however, may be included in advertising and social media. The VC designation obtained by progeny is worth 3 points towards the calculation of the sire and dam’s Registry of Merit (ROM) qualifications. Once a year, a list of all new VCs will be published in Vizsla News and the list of versatility certificate title holders on the VCA website will be updated.
