Just a regular viszla. Loves the water, but I don't take him in the boat when its below freezing. But when in a shore or nearshore blind no amount of cold bothers him. He goes off ice shelves, breaks thin ice, and will swim in waves full of broken ice to get at the birds. After the bird is onshore, he simply finds some dry grass and dries himself off and is ready to go again in minutes. As I understand, the wirehaired versions are the retriever of choice for some European waterfowlers.
