Hanalei Vizslas is a small, passionate hobby show kennel devoted to the elegant and versatile Hungarian Vizsla. Having long admired the HPR gundog breeds, it was always the Vizsla that captured my heart. After several patient years on a breeder’s waiting list, I was finally joined by my first Vizsla in 2016 — and from that moment, I knew life would never again be without them.

As my involvement in the breed deepened, so too did my interest in pedigrees, structure, and preserving the true essence of the Vizsla. After extensive research, I made the decision to look abroad in search of bloodlines that truly aligned with our ethos and values. I was incredibly fortunate to connect with Michelle Porfido-DeLucia of Rhapsody Vizslas in the United States, whose dedication and love for the breed began in 2001.

Choosing patience once again while waiting for the right addition to our family, Michelle and I remained in close contact and, over the years, developed a valued friendship. Today, our dogs’ pedigrees are proudly founded upon the strong and successful lines of Rhapsody Vizslas, and I remain deeply grateful to Michelle for her friendship, mentorship, and the trust she has placed in us.

We are fortunate to be based in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside, with over 600 acres of parkland quite literally on our doorstep — providing the perfect setting for our Vizslas to live, grow, and thrive as cherished members of the family.

Our dogs are first and foremost pets, who live in the house as part of our family. We show them at championship and open shows.
