It is highly unlikely that Hungarians would have allowed interbreeding. It probably sounds like blasphemy for them. It was illegal for a long, long time to even take this breed beyond the border. People were executed and even their dogs were killed just to avoid accidental crossbreeding. Keeping this breed intact is no joke to a Hungarian dog owner.
I don't know about interbreeding with other pointers even during hard times. It is true that the Germans were deliberately killing these dogs during WWII since it was one of the symbols of Hungarian Pride and Independence. Luckily they survived mostly in the adjoining countries that once belong to Hungary.
This Hungarian dog is almost a thousand year old breed but not as we know it today. About 500 years ago during the Turkish occupation, it got mixed with the Turkish yellow dog, hense the monochrome color. Weimaraner is less then a 100 year old breed and is an off-breed of the Vizsla

@WhyOweYou2b Magyar Hungarian Vizsla's came first, actually. But then the breed almost died out, and so they had to be inter-bred with Weims and GSP. That inter-breeding saved the breed and created the dog we know and love today.

@inoyomama and you're almost completely wrong. it's the other way around. they were only saved from extinction by that method. weims and gsp's came after the vizsla.
too cute
