"Vizsla"
means alert and responsive in the Hungarian language. They have become popular
work, show and companion dogs in the past few years. Robust but lightly built,
they are great jumpers and if bored will try to escape from a yard that does
not have a sufficiently high fence. Vizslas are the happiest when they have
something to do. The Vizsla will adapt to city living, but will require long
walks and human companionship as they have enormous stamina. Somewhat sensitive,
they need to be handled gently. They are reliable with children and will quickly
adapt to family life. Vizslas are medium sized dogs which usually have short,
fine hair all over. There is a variation of the breed which has wirehair.
Vizslas have long thin ears that are rounded on the ends, and somewhat wrinklable
skin. They are almost completely solid gold rust to sandy yellow in color,
but sometimes may have patches of white on the chest and feet. They often
have a docked tail, and they are lean muscular dogs. The Vizsla makes an attractive
pet, both inside and out!
