Welcome!

Big Creek Vizslas

We are passionate about raising Vizsla pups–which is what brings you here! We strive to raise the best quality of Vizslas in our attempt to provide you with a pup that fits your needs. While having a dog can require a lot of time, we can assure you that it is time well spent. You will quickly fall in love with the Vizsla breed, whether you are looking for a hunting companion, or just a family friendly dog. If you have interest in a new pup, or you are just here to learn about the breed, feel free to contact us in either situation. We would love to help in any way we can!
Our Story

Our love for this breed and for the country has grown since we bought our first Vizsla, Callie. After living in an apartment in town as a young married couple, we found quickly how important exercise and space was, and soon after we both graduated college we moved to the country. It was a bold move, since neither of us have ever lived anywhere but in town, however we learned to love the country life and our home in Iowa. 

​One Vizsla turned to two, and then shortly after turned to three! Since then we have welcomed our daughter to the bunch and she most certainly loves all of her puppies! It has been a joy to see these dogs play a role in multiple areas of our lives. To say we love our little family is a large understatement, and we have enjoyed seeing that same thing happen for other families who bring Vizslas into theirs.​

With that said, we want to provide you with a companion in the Vizsla breed because, although we are biased, this breed has brought us much joy over the years as they continue to show us how great of an all-around dog they are! 

Our Dogs

FLAME

RUNCH 2xCH FC CK Guy’s Light My Fire  SS06361606

DOB: May 28, 2018

The best way for us to describe Flame is tender, but fierce. She is more petite in size than the rest of our females, but she runs big. There is a cool intensity about her, but she has an equal amount of love and affection as well for anyone who comes into contact with her. Her long range in the field has given her huge success in competing. Flame is currently on the field trial circuit with our pro Brian Gingrich, and we are so thankful for him caring for and training Flame. She has made a lot of incredible placements in her years as a field trial dog, and we are excited to see what this season continues to bring for her!

TESS

CK Guy’s Angel, CH

DOB: Mar 5, 2018

Our crazy, vocal girl. She is one who seeks attention and love for everyone around, but also desires to get all shiny things in sight. We love her strong/confident personality, and her energy in the field. She is inevitably a wild child, but has finally shown us that she can in fact chill on the couch after 2 years under her belt as a momma. We attribute having puppies to that new skill!

Tess is very high drive, and has been on the field trial circut with Brian Gingrich over the last couple years. She was named winner of the 2019 Vizsla Club of America National Derby Classic, and has since finished up all of her derby points. After her first litter of pups, we sent her to the show ring where she achieved her show championship with our friend Sarah Luther at Velocity Handling in under 3 months. It wasn’t a total surprise, minus the fact that she isn’t totally leash trained. She just figured it out like she was a natural. She is a beautiful girl, and she has some stunning pups as well. We are excited for what is in store for her in the future!

Sami

Burr Oak’s Sami JH 

DOB: Jun 18, 2018

 Sami is a natural bird dog. She has a solid natural retrieve, and is a dog that will lead you to birds in the field when cut loose. She is very playful and loving, and great with other dogs. Sami is also a WONDERFUL mom to her pups. We are thankful to have her as a part of our crew!

Lizzy

Burr Oak’s Lizzy 

DOB: Aug 21, 2020

Lizzy is a sweet addition to our crew—both in her temperament, and with her ability. We think she is the perfect mix of hunting capability and cuddle on the couch. She ranges long in the field, but at home is as velcro as vizslas get. She has a few points towards her show campion, and the picture above is from her first major in the show ring. Her energy is great, and she is a beautiful bird dog with natural point and retrieve. She just turned two, and we plan to breed her in the next year. We think she will be an excellent mom with how tender her personality is!

DEL

 Islandtime Hootie Delight

DOB: Jun 1, 2016

This happy-go-lucky girl is a dog that can make just about anyone’s day. She has a way with her wiggle  and smile that puts a smile on our own faces. Her energy is excellent, and her bird drive is HIGH (she has left a nice dirt trail circling our pigeon coop, as that is her favorite spot to be!) She is good on retrieve, and we are thankful for what she brings as a bird dog in the field.
