Wirehaired Vizsla is a race that is entirely independent from the smoothly covered Vizsla. Vasas Jozsef, owner of the Csabai vizsla kennel, together with Gresznarik Laszlo who belonged to the German de Selle Wirehaired Pointer kennel developd the Wirehaired Vizsla in the 1930
Their objective has been to create a dog that is more capable of working in cold and icy waters combining color with a thicker coat and a robust frame.

Two Vizsla bitches from Zsuzsi and Csibi were chosen to mate with a fully liver-colored german wirehaired pointer sister which combined great pedigrees and high workability (Astor von Potat). The father of Zsuzsi was renowned to have lengthy coats of progeny. The best children of Zsuzsi and Csibi were chosen and bred jointly, and the first WHV to be displayed, Dia de Selle, was born. She had the same physique as the shorthaired viz, but the German Wirehaired Pointer had the form of its head. Although her coat was not tough and thick enough, it was the promising start to the new race.

Koloman Slimák worked in Slovakia after Jozef and Laszlo to build a Wirehaired Vizsla. In addition to German Wirehaired Pointer, it is claimed that he introduced the Irish Setter and Pointer in his own line. Other anecdotal evidence says that during the Second World War several other Hungarian kennels were engaged in developing the race, Pudelpointer, Bloodhound and Irish Setter blood were introduced. It was also stated earlier, although wrongly that the race was made by the rearing of the most heavily-coated offspring of smooth Vizsla (Gottlieb, idem)

In 2009, the US and between 2,500 and 3,000 globally had around 450-450 Wirehaired Vizslas.
