Five facts about Vizsla dogs

The Vizsla breed is the symbolic dog of the Hungarian nation. It truly is one of the most stunning dog breeds around. They are beautiful, graceful, and loyal and make superb companions. They are a powerful, active breed and are the right dog for only the right kind of owner. If you are looking for a Vizsla puppy for sale, read up on these fascinating facts about this wonderful breed to make sure they are the right dog for you.

Fact one

Vizslas are often called “Velcro dogs” because they tend to stick very close to their people. The Vizsla was developed to be a pointer and retriever that worked very closely with hunters, never moving too far away. So that is why you will find them leaning against you or acting as your foot warmer. Vizslas need human interaction and attention. They bond very strongly with their people. They are also very talkative and will take measures to make sure you are aware of their opinions.

Fact Two

Vizsla breeds require proper training. They are quick to learn but they have a mind of their own. This makes them stubborn and they can be easily distracted by things that excite them (sights, scents, and sounds). You need to have a lot of patience with a Vizsla and you must command respect and attention from them. Socialize them early on so that they don’t become shy or easily startled. They are notable for being friendly to family, strangers, and friends if trained properly.

Fact Three

Vizslas tend to have more in common with cats than other dogs. They are a self-cleaning dog and have very little odor that most other dogs have. They are a great dog for those with a sensitive nose and little desire to bathe their dog every week. The Vizsla is low maintenance but should be brushed weekly.

Fact Four

The Vizsla breed has been around for more than 1000 years. They are a talented hunting dog and were used to deliver messages during the Great Wars. The toll and destruction of the World Wars nearly eradicated the Vizsla but they did endure and now remain the most noticeable breed in modern Hungary.

Fact Five

The Vizsla excels in retrieving game on land as well as in water as they are excellent swimmers. They are a hunter’s best companion. However, they must be trained gently and not with harsh commands or physically corrected. They are a sensitive breed and can be put off if they are trained in a harsh way. They are an energetic breed and require at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. They love long walks, jogging and playing fetch. This breed won’t suit a lazy owner!

The Vizsla has a loving and affectionate nature and would be a great match for families with children. They will engage in playful games and fun activities with children and they will not hurt them. This breed is not recommended for working people who leave home for several days in a row or longer. The Vizsla will cry if they are left alone too long. If someone can be around them, they are happiest. They do suffer from separation anxiety and can be destructive if they feel they have been abandoned. Having a Vizsla can be a truly rewarding experience.
