Your neighbour is most likely getting confused between a Hungarian Vizla, a pointer , and a Hungarian Magyar, which is a sight hound and should be capable of taking rabbit and roe;

Cheers.

Seen 2 of the wire coated types x to a whippet...cracking looking dogs,can catch rabbits for fun ...and probably suprise you on other stuff if given the chance...a x I would love to try,for some mooching/ferreting..

When I was teenager,I used to help out volunteering for the old  countryside Ranger services in Wales, before NRW took over,I used to go out with the one Ranger Dai Hale,he had 2 x doberman/wire haired gwp x greyhounds from one of the farmers, accidental mating...the one dog Boots was a f***ing machine,looked like a big deerhound x..sit and watch it work the mountain sides back and forth like a pack of hounds...catch and kill foxes for fun...would of been around 93/94

My mate picked up a pup  of that sort of  description around that time  from South Wales ,he wanted a Doberman but couldn’t afford one so went for a cross … you have never known  there was dob in the bitch  , was just a wire haired lurcher to look at  with an attitude ,

Back then the dober blood would've still been good. I wouldn't think the UK blood would be any good nowadays with all the show shit about but I'd love to be wrong. I've always had a soft spot for the breed. My cousin had one back around late 80's,early 90's and she was a machine. Guard all-day then spend the night knocking foxes on the farm.

Not a particularly uncommon cross in south wales at the time.

Early eighties my mate bought a pup out of a pure doberman bitch, guard dog to an allotment, to a whippet cross deer/grey, also kept at same allotment.

Bitch he picked was OK for a few lamped rabbits, if they weren't close to any cover/hedges.

He then bred her to a collie/grey cross sal/grey, and kept a dog and a bitch pup out of that litter.

Both were fairly useful alrounders, to be honest.

That Doberman is the spit of how I remember my cousins bitch, big engine, calm demeanor around people she knew. She absolutely hated foxes with a passion. Non of the cropped ear bollocks neither
