In the interest of full disclosure...
... I spend my life with rescue dogs. And guess what - most of the dogs coming through the rescue I volunteer with are pedigreed, pure breed dogs. Many are dogs who were bred by either naive individuals who didn't know what they were doing, or greedy unethical scum who had no thought for the poor dog's welfare. In short, we do what we can to help clean up the mess left behind by irresponsible breeding. Far more dogs are born every year than there are homes available for them. And everyday, beautiful dogs die - because there is no where for them to go.
Switzerland, as the rest of the world, faces a serious dog overpopulation crisis.
Just so you know where I'm coming from.
Dog breeding is not something to enter into lightly. Forgive me if I have the wrong end of the stick, but your comment about looking for a mate leads me to believe that you are not experienced. First and foremost, you need to understand how the the breed club and the SKG (the Swiss version of the AKC, under the FCI umbrella) regulates breeding.
Not being a breeder (quite the opposite!) I can only give you a summary of the process. (Any of you who are involved in SKG stuff, please correct me if I've misunderstood.) As I understand it, you would have to join the Swiss Vizsla club and the SKG, present your dog's AKC pedigree for acceptance. Then I believe (at least this is how the two clubs I know work) your dog must go through Ankörung , a process where he or she is judged by the club's breed experts for conformation, temperament, and health. You have to present all the requisite health certificates (some breeds require different tests). Only dogs who pass the Ankörung are endorsed for breeding. If your dog is not Angekört and you choose to breed outside the club, the offspring will not be SKG eligible. Typically your dog should have some kind of championship or title behind him/her before you would even think about breeding.
You also should be well conversant in your breed's genetics. This is a tricky subject and requires serious study. And experience.
Each breed club has rules as to when and how breeding is done, how the puppies can be registered, how the pups must be cared for and socialized, etc. Breeding, when done correctly with an eye for the welfare of the breed and the well-being of your dog and his/her offspring, is a very time consuming process and a very expensive hobby. An ethical breeder would have a list of potential buyers lined up well before he/she even thinks of producing a litter.
An ethical breeder remains morally responsible for the dogs he/she produced throughout the dog's lifetime. You have a duty of care to carefully screen and vet any potential buyer, and should a buyer be unable to care for the dog you sold him at any point you should be willing to take the dog back. Most sales contracts specify this.
If you are serious about breeding, you should first join the Vizsla club. Get involved with their activities. Try her in the Ausstellung circuit, try her in working trials. Learn about breeding from the SKG experts. Let them decide if your dog is fit to breed.
Breeding should only be done by experts FOR THE GOOD OF THE BREED.

One of the dogs curled up at my feet is MDR1-/-, a serious genetic abnormality; his parents were carriers and should never have been bred. Another suffers from von Willebrands, a genetic clotting disorder; her parents should been tested and excluded from breeding. A third is blind, thanks to CEA, yet another genetic disorder; again, his parents should never have been used for breeding.
These dogs are all victims of irresponsible breeders.

I have the utmost respect for ethical, knowledgeable, responsible, experienced FCI breeders, who are working to improve the health and temperament of their breed, who are dedicated to their dogs, and who do their utmost to find the perfect homes for their dog's offspring.
And I have the utmost contempt for anyone who breeds irresponsibly.
Which, judging by the numbers I see coming into rescue, is far too many.
So... before you even think about breeding your dog, do your research. Do a lot of research. And some soul searching as well. Your dog certainly is very beautiful - but is that a good enough reason to breed from her?
'Cause those of us who volunteer with already overflowing rescues certainly don't want to be tearing our hair out yet again, looking for homes for yet another litter of unwanted puppies.
If you do decide that breeding is the right thing for your dog, please do so responsibly and ethically within the SKG regulations.

Might I also suggest that you get involved with a Vizsla - or any other - rescue group as well? Help is always needed...

Hope you make the right decision for your lovely dog.
