VIZSLA

History - The Vizsla is descended from dogs that accompanied the nomadic Magyar people across Europe over a thousand years ago and settled with them in the region now known as Hungary. In the 19th century the Vizsla became an outstanding pointer and retriever.

Temperament - Vizslas are very friendly, devoted dogs that must be included in family activities. Some can be stubborn and easily distracted, making obedience training a challenge.  Training and socialization must begin early and should be ongoing. To counteract their hypersensitivity they need to be taken to noisy, busy areas at a young age.  Vizslas get along with children, although their energy level can be overwhelming. They are friendly toward strangers and other animals.  Vizslas retain their hunting-dog spirit and must be made to feel useful. They are best suited for life in rural or suburban areas with a lot of space.

Upkeep - Vizslas need to be brushed once a week. They are extremely energetic and want to run, explore, and work all the time. To prevent destruction in your house, these dogs must have plenty of exercise outdoors.

Size -   Height 19.5 - 25 inches, weight 45-60 pounds.
