After many discussions over many months my husband and I decided to take the plunge and welcome a new puppy into our home and family. I had decided that a Hungarian Vizsla would make a wonderful addition to our labrador and Abyssinian cat. The hunt was on for a reputable breeder. The KC was a logical place to begin and search for assured breeders, especially those with puppies available. I looked into the breed clubs but no-one was advertising any pups, so resorted to our friend Google for Vizsla breeders. By luck Silvestre showdogs popped up near the top of search results, and a look at the website confirmed that Rachel and Darryl were not only KC assured breeders but also 5 star council licensed. Reading through the website it became very obvious that the Silvestre family of dogs are exceptionally lucky - they are well loved and cared for. Puppies are bred with care and love by people who understand their breed. The next step was to convince Rachel that I could offer one of her puppies a loving caring home. I knew from Rachel that it could be a wait of some months before there was a puppy available for me, but waiting for the right puppy, from the right breeder was not a problem. The excitement of getting a call from Rachel and your puppy has made a safe entry into the world and is thriving is worth the wait. Rachel then keeps you well updated with photos and videos as the puppies grow and progress. I loved receiving my Whats App messages and seeing the pups develop. Due to covid restrictions we weren't able to go and visit the puppies and meet the parents as normal at 5 weeks of age, but with all the information that Rachel provides we never felt it was a problem.
>Rachel provides a huge amount of information to help with your puppy rearing, wether you are an experienced owner or a newbie. The information is there with lots of additional advice from her experience of the breed. She's also brilliant at calming the over thinking newbie raw feeders.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachel and Darryl, and Silvestre show dogs and thank them for entrusting me with such a wonderful puppy.

I have been living in the UK for 27 years but a Hungarian and had a German Shepard for 12 years, loosing her broke our heart but 3 years on I wanted to do things even better and have a lovely Hungarian Vizsla as a companion for me as an off road runner and for my retired husband who just need company whilst I am working hard....
I knew getting a puppy from a Kennel club UK breeder is the right way to go, since we were keen to have a responsible breeder who treat the dogs really well and not just like a puppy farm especially during covid puppy mania....
Working in Norfolk and through the kennel cub I came across Silvestre and when I called Rachel I realised she was certainly not in it for the money, the questions she asked me were really important for the dogs future, and whilst I knew I was in for a long wait, I new it would be worth it. I got on the waiting list and watched proceedings with a previous litter, which was so encouraging and when our litter was born her messages started to arrive with so much useful info and lovely way of seeing how the puppies were developing. She made sure sure picked one for our needs and he is a healthy, happy, full of character pup and any advice we need she is there to support us with her ears of experience and knowledge with this particular breed.
Starting with providing a weeks worth of food when we picked him up, could purchase her hand made collar, lead, snufffle mat, treats we can order any treats, chews and other products from her later and it feels as though we are part of a new family with the silvestre dogs, all of which look full of life and health. A fantastic breeder who puts all her heart into the welfare of her dogs?

We don’t go into anything lightly & as with most big decisions we spend a lot of time reading & researching before seriously committing to a search.
We wanted a puppy primarily as a family pet & therefore really wanted a breeder that brought their puppies up with love in their own home. Coupled with only wanting a Kennel Club assured breeder, we narrowed our search. As soon as we looked at the Silvestre website we felt like we had hit the jackpot. There is so much information, knowledge, obvious dedication & pure love of dogs leaping from the pages that we immediately thought, we need to contact this lady...
Once my husband had spoken to Rachel our decision was made. We had found a breeder with passion, who was willing to give her time generously to tell you the whole story, good & bad with no pressure, in fact she goes to pains to paint the picture of how tricky raising a Vizsla can be. Here is a woman who is not trying to sell you a puppy, she is trying to place her puppies with people she trusts to do things right by them.
We were very happy to wait knowing we were in the right place.
We ended up with a puppy from Rachel’s son Joshua. Joshua is equally as dedicated to his puppies & was amazing at keeping us updated every week on the puppies progress. When we met Joshua & Rachel they were exactly as we’d expected, professional, knowledgable & generous with their time. We felt completely reassured that we had made the right decision.
Both Joshua & Rachel have been amazing at answering questions to help us navigate through the first few weeks & we have found Rachel’s hidden resources for puppy owners invaluable. We end up going back to some section in there most days.
We have the most amazing, handsome, confident puppy (yes we are extremely biased, but we do think Silvestre puppies are the most beautiful) who had the absolute best start in life & we feel so lucky that our puppy was chosen by Joshua for us (trust the breeder).
They told us there was no such thing as the perfect puppy, but we think maybe they were lying about that bit, ours is pretty perfect in our eyes 😜 (despite the sharkies, zoomies, jumping & general craziness that are part & parcel of Vizsla puppy life)!
Thanks Joshua & Rachel we are so grateful to have been trusted with a Silvestre puppy

You might describe us as repeat shoppers but we’ve had 3 dogs from Silvestre Show Dogs spanning the last 15 years. Trust me we’ve done a lot of research and wouldn’t consider buying a dog if they went the right breeder. Silvestre dogs are incredibly well reared at home by someone who truly cares about their wellbeing and health. It’s the most perfect environment for any puppy to start life. Our vet has commented on all 3 occasions how stunning and healthy the puppies are.
The support you receive from Rachel is incredible, from hidden pages, top tips etc., on her website (only available to Silvestre puppy owners) to her willingness to share thoughts, advice, pictures and videos so you can watch them grow from new born pup until the moment you bring them home. With the country gripped with COVID-19 and no home visits allowed this is more important than ever.
We took ownership of our Vizsla in December 2020 and from the moment he was born in October we received regular updates, pictures and videos of the litter, we almost felt we were helping rear the pups ourselves! As we know pups grow like weeds, it was amazing to see the changes, day by day, week by week. A real hands on ‘virtual’ approach!
We really can’t recommend Silvestre Show Dogs highly enough.

Now that I have 2 wonderful Silvestre vizslas I thought I should let Rachel know how happy I am that I have her beautifully bred dogs. Rachel was recommended to me by the breeder of my first vizsla (who had Silvestre lineage) and I am very grateful for this. Our first boy from Rachel is a beauty with the most wonderful temperament; he is now 2½. During the process of this “adoption” Rachel was constantly on hand with words of wisdom, photos and videos. We were able to visit the whole litter at 5 weeks and collected our boy at 8 weeks. I have continued contact with Rachel and at the beginning of 2020 I asked to be put on the list for another boy. Then the pandemic struck! It took many months but Rachel was on hand all the way – there was no way I would have come off her list and gone to another even if it meant that we got a puppy sooner. There is a certain pride people take in their work and what they produce – Silvestre has this in abundance.
When we found out that we had a new baby coming to us, Rachel, as ever, kept up with photos and videos (and any questions we had!). The pandemic meant we weren’t allowed to travel to see the litter at 5 weeks but this truly wasn’t an issue. Even though I was aware from our previous experience, Rachel was still as open as she could be and I never had any doubt that a puppy was awaiting me. I think the pandemic has given rise to a lot of sad stories in regard to buying puppies, from bad breeders to actually no litters, but I can honestly recommend Silvestre. Everything is absolutely above board, licensed, registered and whatever else is needed.
Our new puppy is now 4 months old and is another Silvestre delight… with teeth! I am already wondering if I can sneak another dog into our household 🤫

I wanted to do things right and find not only the perfect dog for us as a family, but the perfect breeder that did all the health checks and put the dogs well being before anything else.
We were fortunate to find Silvestre and both Rachel and Daryl have been amazing on our journey,
We got in touch before the start of covid and was pleased to be put on the list. We didn't know from one day to the next how things would pan out due to restrictions. Rachel followed every guideline even though it changed on a regular basis. We were regularly updated with litters and eventually got news of when we could finally pick up our puppy. Rachel's long experience with breeding and knowledge of her dogs gave us the great benefits of her picking a puppy that is suitable for our requirements. She has given us the perfect gift and for that we thank you so much.
It doesn't end there because the after care is second to none. I have messaged Rachel on several occasions asking for advice and with in minutes she has put my mind to rest.
Thank you so much and so pleased we are part of the Silvestre family.

Silvestre reference
I first met Rachel and Darryl at Crufts in 2013 and they enthusiastically told me all about their Vizslas and I met the truly wonderful Chilli.
I took their details and kept them until we were ready to have a new Vizsla in our lives. This was at the start of 2020 before Covid struck. We read through the Silvestre website and knew that we would have to be patient and go onto the waiting list. The great benefit of this is that you get to know the Silvestre approach and their dogs through regular blogs and Instagram posts. `They share detailed information about health screening and are truly responsible breeders.
We compiled and sent what I called a “Dog CV” so that they could see our previous experience with the HPR breeds. I also sent a video of our house and garden. We truly wanted to be chosen to give one of their wonderful puppies a home but certainly did not assume that we would be.
We followed Sassys pregnancy whilst trying to not get too excited as there is no way of knowing how many puppies there will be and how many boys or girls. Even once they have arrived you must be patient and wait for Rachel to phone you as she is busy caring for mum and the puppies and it is exhausting. However, we soon had an exciting phone call to say that there would be a girl for us.
Due to Covid restrictions we did not expect to have the usual 5 week visit but the regular photos and videos more than made up for it. We had also had photos and video of dad Tango and mum Sassy so could see they had a wonderful life. We gave Rachel some more information about the type of personality and characteristics we were looking for so that as those emerged at about 6 weeks she could choose one for us. We then had more photos of our beautiful girl until we went to collect her at 8 weeks.
On collection day in December 2020 we were given lots of information, time to ask questions and a lovely puppy pack.
Amber is now 4 months old and such a wonderful girl. Her physical shape is amazing, she has a shiny coat and bright eyes. She is a clever girl and has been easy to house train and settle to sleep. She is calm and considered when encountering new experiences and other dogs. All of this is a result of the early socialisation that Silvestre do with their dogs. She is an absolute joy and we couldn’t imagine life without her.
The fact that Rachel and Darryl allow you to stay in touch for the dogs whole life is the sign of a good breeder and being caring people.

As a proud owner of 2 beautiful Silvestre Hungarian Vizsla girls aged 18 months and 4 years old, I can honestly say I am thrilled, and thoroughly recommend Rachel and Darryl as legitimate breeders, that home rear with so much love.
Having previously owned Border collies, and Dalmations, vizsla were a new breed to me, but after many hours researching I set about choosing a reputable breeder. I choose and contact Rachel, we arranged a time to talk during which we discussed not only my suitability, but also talked in depth about the breed and what I could expect form them as breeders, Rachels wealth of knowledge and experienced confirmed to me I had made the right choice and I asked to be considered for their waiting list.
Rachel kept in touch and ill never forget the day she told me their was a litter due and my name was on the list! I received regular updates, including when mum was in labour and then regular photos and progress of the puppies.
I wanted a girl as a pet but also to compete in dog shows (A new hobby), Rachel choose my beautiful Mrytle for me and has, ever since the day I collected guided me and supported me all the way through to compete in the big and small shows locally and nationally, including Crufts.
Extensive information on feeding, training, health and general care was part of my puppy pack, I still have mine but know from experience that Rachels' suppose continues right through the lives of all the dogs bred by them. It wasn't long before I wanted another and again Im so grateful to Rachel that she trusted me my beautiful youngest Hazel. Whose half sister to Myrtle.

I dont think I could properly put into words how pleased we are that we chose Silvestre Showdogs and they chose us.
I was lucky enough to stumble upon Rachel when we lost our old boy, Frank, a retired greyhound (a very different breed!)
As a family of 4 ( 2 grown ups and 2 teenagers), we thought long and hard about whether to adopt another greyhound to accompany our other retired greyhound, Bess, or whether we should go for a puppy to experience something different. Once we agreed that a pup was for us and we could all put in the time that would necessitate, we talked lots about different breeds. The only one we all agreed on was a Vizsla. Although my daughter would still like a Pug! I then did lots of research and contacted a few reputable breeders I found on the KC Website. Rachel though was the one who stood out. she was so responsive and I was directed to their website. I then had to answer lots of questions and have a chat ( I like to tell people I was interviewed! LOL)
From there on, I remained in touch as we waited for a litter to arrive and to be told one of them was ours on that wonderful day last October. Obviously Covid got in the way and we couldn't do the 5 week visit, but we were kept informed of latest Defra guidelines every step of the way. We were sent lots of videos and photos on WhatsApp to make us really feel part of the pups journey. Happily for us, lockdown 2 ended just in time and we collected Bruce from his first home with Rachel, Darryl, Sassy, Tango and the rest of Silvestre family. Bruce was 4 months old yesterday and we could not love him more. Its hard work, really hard work at times, but amazing at the same time, and you know that someone who knows their stuff is just a message away. Thank you Silvestre Show dogs for everything.

When my partner and I decided on the Vizsla as the breed we wanted we began our search to find a reputable and responsible breeder. Then we found Rachel. She has been fantastic and has a whole wealth of knowledge about the breed. Rachel kept in regular contact with us by sending weekly photos and text updates. In just the several times we met Rachel we felt like we had known her for years and just from her knowledge and experience she was able to read us like a book as potential owners and picked us the perfect puppy.
Woody is now 13 weeks old, such a bundle of energy on one hand and so chilled out on the other. So loving and affectionate and above all he is so gorgeous!
So thank you Rachel for breeding such a lovely, intelligent and wonderful breed and for being supportive throughout the whole process which has been outstanding.

I looked online for a puppy, and then rang a few breeders who were rude, only wanted money and when could I take the puppy and I wanted someone that was in my mind the ideal breeder. I wanted advice, someone who would answer my many questions. Apologys that I have taken up many hours of your free time to help me. Glad I found you was an understatement, and you put so much time into your puppies it is obvious. Thankyou for everything Rach.

We searched very carefully for the right breeder for our first dog and first Vizsla, travelling a six hour round trip to view, then collect her from Silvestre Gundogs. Rachel checked we had researched the breed thoroughly and could offer a suitable family home, then matched a perfect puppy to us. She is passionate about her dogs, breeds and socialises them with care and continues to pass on a wealth of information to us as our puppy is one years old. Be it diet, health, exercise or routines, she is always available to advise. It has been wonderful to keep in touch with our puppies siblings via the Facebook group. We have been gingered through and through! In fact, another tripe to Norfolk may be on the cards next year....

I highly recommend Silvestre as a breeder of Hungarian Vizsla having had a puppy from Rachel. In my opinion she is very passionate about the breed and has invested a huge amount of her time and money into her very selective breeding programme, ensuring that the characteristics and qualities of this beautiful breed are maintained to the highest standards. This has resulted in healthy dogs being produced that not only conform to the breed standard but have the temperament and personality to match, ensuring a wonderful all round family pet who comes with a lifetime of personal telephone support. It is evident how much her dogs are loved and treated as family members and they are all credit to her and her husband Darryl. My own dog was chosen as first and foremost a pet but also I wanted to show him - he has proved himself many times over in the show ring winning multiple first places at championship shows and also first at Crufts. He is also an integral part of my family. If I was asked if I would consider purchasing another dog from Silvestre - it would be a definite YES!!

I did not realise just how much a dog could take over our whole lives for the better. Thank you Rachel for choosing us the perfect dog. From the moment we met you we knew we had come to the right place. A home which cares so greatly for their dogs, immaculate conditions, and wealth of information. I did not feel the need for the group as you Whats Ap straight back which suits us fine. You have been such a great help, thank you once again.

Oscar is single handedly the greatest thing that has happened to me, he brightens my mood every day and I could not imagine life without him. Not only is he gorgeous on the outside, he is beautiful on the inside too., with a temperament second to none. I spent a long tIme researching different breeders but as soon as I spoke to Rachel I knew I would be in safe hands having a puppy from her. It was fantastic experience to meet both mum and dad of my boy and through out my journeyRachel has offered guidance and support either directly or through the invaluable Facebook groups that she runs.i can not thank Darryl and Rachel enough

We just can't imagine life with out her. Rachel took time to make sure we really understood the breed we were taking on. Allowing us to meet her and adult dogs before choosing the perfect puppy for us. Since bringing Dusty home, Rachel has continued support with us and all her years of experience. Dusty is now mature, well socialised. Even our trainer who calls the bred"wind your arm up", is pleasantly surprised by just how obedient our girl is (though she has her moments).

I was a complete canine novice owner when I met Rachel Savage. In fact I had never owned a dog before. My wife has had several dogs in the past, and decided she wanted a Hungarian Vizsla, and was drawn to Silvestre gundogs. We found them via the Kennel club website. By the professional and no nonsense approach of what to expect from the breed and a wealth of information what to expect in a Vizsla puppy. She has proven to be 100% accurate. Rachel offered us a bitch and we went to see puppies at five weeks of age.we collected Biba at seven weeks which proved best age. The group website is both good and fun and members are prepared to share their experiences at all stages of the breeds life which helps a lot. You feel that you are not on your own. Testament that many owners have more than one Silvestre dog. I would thoroughly recommend a Silvestre dog to anyone.

100% happy cooper is an energetic happy ginger whom loves nothing more than running with his friends through the forest chasing rabbits, cuddling like a baby, with our family. Oh and he looked pleased with himself rolling in fox shite like other gingers for the first time in months! Love him to bits

To Silvestre
Our boy never ceases to bring joy to our home, from a puppy through to old age. Now he is elderly and we take each day as it comes. I wanted to just thank you, because I have reminisced over the past week on how lucky we were to take this puppy and watch him grow into old age gracefully. Thank you for a dog in a million.

If you are looking for a Vizsla you have found the right website. Your search is over! They are highly intelligent breed, beautiful, loving, protective. Comical, fairly vocal. We can not speak highly enough about our breeder Rachel who totally dedicated to her dogs, is a phone call away or blog away if advice needed. There's no doubt she produces the best example of the breed. Just so you know they will steal your hearts!

Keith and I would like to say a big thank you for giving us our little boy blue. He is a beautiful Vizsla. We were impressed with your website, the updates we got about mum, and the updates when our baby was born. I must admit we had reservations that you chose the puppy for us, but their was no need. You know your dogs so well you chose us a brilliant puppy.

Hi Rachel just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done for us from the beginning, when our pup was just a dream in Scarlett's tummy, to having a pup of our own. After doing lots of research on buying we were fortunate to come across your website. So informative and by far more professional. This was the start of us meeting you and your lovely dogs. We fell in love with mum as she is beautiful and fantastic dog. I also love the way you keep in touch and we are able to share our thoughts, concerns and questions.Kind regards
