The vizsla ouzes beauty and intelligence so it easy to see why people are attracted to him however he is not suited to everybody the Vizsla is an active HPR (hunt,point & retrieve ) Gundog he or she requires exercise and companionship and can become destructive and vocal if left alone for long periods of time so is definitely not suited to the full time worker.

 

The vizsla is sociable he loves children but sometimes to much !! he is lively and will knock toddlers flying and he will play bite. so if you have a young family you should seriously consider whether the vizsla is the dog for you.

 

The Vizsla is socialble with other animals and usually gets on well with other dogs. The vizsla is a very intelligent trainable dog but his intelligence gives him the abilty to out wit owners and manipulate family situations ,given the chance he will take a higher rank in the family home, new owners must be prepared to train the vizsla and the be firm and consistant with training, the vizsla is a sensitve character and harsh handling is unappropiate for this breed.

 

 The Vizsla moults he is not hypoallergenic! his coat can still irritate asthma or pet allergies. Finally the vizsla is a slow to mature he is likely to remodel your home and garden during his younger years so if you are very house or garden proud think twice!!! A well adjusted and socialised Vizsla is a pleasure to live with he is clever and has real character but as with any breed of dog he is not born trained and socialised so ensure the puppy you purchase comes from a reputable source and has been correctly socialised and from then on it is the job of you his owner to train and continue the good work! and be prepared for hard work and look forward to reaping the benefits.

 

Your breeder will be a source of information and back up as your puppy matures, so be patient when waiting for a puppy and choose wisely.

Expect to be questioned about yourhome and lifestyle and your suitabilty as a owner.

 

 Expect the breeder to want to meet you and your family before agreeing to let you have a puppy.

 Ensure your breeder will furnish you with basic care advice and feeding advice plus be around to give you support if you need it. If you wish to buy a puppy to show ensure the breeder shows and the parents of you puppy are of show quality.

 

If you wish to by a puppy to work ensure the parents are working dogs and still have the hunting instincts and balance of character to make a good working dog.

when looking for a pet puppy ensure the parents have good temperaments, and they are not aggressive or timid, ensure they appear in good health and the breeder has screened them for health deffects , ask the breeder about problems such as apilepsy, autoimune disorders to ensure the dogs they are breeding from are free of these undesirable problems.
