The Vizsla is originally from Hungary and means ‘searcher’ or ‘tracker’. This breed has a gentle and quite temperament but is also known for its energetic and loyal behaviour.
Training!
As I always say, every dog needs training throughout its entire life. From puppy classes with a qualified trainer to ongoing classes and training. The Vizsla would do well to be socialised with birds and small dog breeds in particular, due to its inherited traits. Vizsla are a gun dog which are traditionally used in assisting hunters in finding and retrieving game. There are three type of gun dogs; retriever, flushing dogs and pointing breeders and Vizsla are pointers. The name pointer comes from the dog’s instinct to point, by stopping and aiming its muzzle towards game.
