[Closed] Hungarian vizsla dogs

I have two friends that have them. Relaxed is not a word I would use for them! Both are great with children and other dogs, have boundless energy and work well with bikes but are not the most obedient. I'm not sure if this is because they are wilful, stupid or haven't had the time put in to them. They are ideal for people with dog hair allergies as they hardly shed.

I go dog walking with a chum that has one. She's great but completely independent and if she fancies doing something that she shouldn't my chum hasn't a hope of her obeying. A bossy dog (bitch) and keeps the 2 dogs she walks with lower down in the pack order. Loves to run, off!

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

Organic - thats a Monster in the making!!

agree with the above.

lovely, friendly dogs, very loyal and pine for their owenr if separated, and therefore aren't the best left on their own (no direct ecperience, but a friend has had one for four years)

beautiful dogs, like running, like playing, no shedding issues really.

I'd like one.

jowly dogs = slobber 🙂

best not to argue with one!

Here's a bigger one.

Nearly 4 now.

They bond to individuals. Obsessively. You have to be a bit careful with kids as they can bond with you and not like the kids. Happened to someone I know. Ours hates kids, but hasn't been brought up with any. If you're careful I'm sure they're fine though.

The breeder we got ours from and the breed book we have said in no uncertain terms not to take them mountainbiking. They weren't bred for running like a carriage dog. They will do it though, but it will knacker their joints. You can of course take them for a walk using a bike, but you amble along, not ride at mountainbike pace if you see what I mean.

You can not leave them alone (see bonding above). They will go mental. So unless one of you doesn't work don't get one. Unless you get 2.

They're very bright and easy to train. Ours isn't exactly obedient but is very cooperative.

Oh, and they don't slobber!

my lad now sadly (for me) lives with my ex but he's a cracking dog - needs plenty of exercise but will happily run behind a bike. Although then he sees any bike and thinks it's his owner 🙂
Everyone will ask you if he is some kind of Weimeraner.. although I was once asked why I had shaved my Red Setter :-/

Rez is a little different to 5th's. Not to bright but everyone seems to love him, and he loves everyone - some people a little too much. He is great with kids but can be a handful unless person (inc kids) is firm when he is amazingly obedient. Train OK but other breeds ie GSP much better for training. As for distance I have heard two versions of what they can do. Our breeder was a horse rider and hers have gone out with her for years. Rez (and Max the GSP) have run (me 3-5 miles- dogs same plus?) most mornings and later have gone out with the horses or bikes nearly every day and for miles and miles - both are seriously excited when bike kit or biking mates appear. They have both done this all their life, now 11, and just the GSP is slowing at the end of rides - though we are all down nowadays.

No slobber but more hairs than you would think and they a needle like things!

We had 8 pups at one point but have had two of them as family dogs, sadly both now passed away. A bit smaller and less mental than weimeraners and fine with kids if they grow up with them - my brother and I used to ride them around the house, wrestle them, etc as little kids. They did go nuts if left home alone though, opening cupboards, fridges and generally causing mayhem.

a friend had one called Rusty , great dog loads of fun and easy to train

Our vizsla maisie is 9 months now and a stunning dog, very exiteable but can be calmed very quickly. We also have a dalmation and they both love coming running for upto 2 hours (rarely though). Maisie love playing with dylan (dalmation) and is always wrestling with him but he's not arsed and he's only 1year 9months.

Overall as everyone else has said they are very loyal and stunning, but do need exercise and stimulation, feel free to contact for any info

check out Retrizsla's (Vizsla/Retriever cross) apparently takes the edge off the vizsla's temperament. [img] [/img]

A guy up the road from me has had a few over the years. Lovely looking dogs... but he has an electric shock collar on at least one of them. We always thought that was a bit over the top for such nice looking dogs, but then it attacked one of my friends on his paper round as a teenager and we could see why.

Great dogs, totally mental though. Do not even consider one unless someone is at home with it all day. They're super intelligent, but daft at the same time. Mine is a constant source of amusement and I trust him with immediate family members, but they're a VERY protective breed and ours has bitten quite a few folk who were in places they shouldn't have been. If you can be arsed they make excellent gun dogs and great workers, need a fair bit of excersise and human company though.

Ours was greatly offended by a snowman today. Nutjob!

Vizlas are great dogs, but couldn't recommend em for first time dog owners. Agree they are nuts, but lovable.
