Today I will talk about Vizsla and some characteristics of this unusual dog breed.

Smart, active, and super loyal, Vizslas are a friendly breed that enjoys burning their energy outdoors,
whether hunting or jogging with their owner.

Learn more about living with the people-oriented Vizsla.

Vizsla (pronounced VEEZH-la or VEESH-la) is not only a talented hunting dog,
but also a devoted companion.

They become very attached to their owners and are very loving.

Vizslas have a trademark red coat and are built for activity.

They can hunt, track, complete agility courses, and simply accompany you on a long jog.

Without proper training and socialization, a Vizsla might be too much for a first-time dog owner.

They are high-energy—requiring lots of exercise each day—but always graceful.

Hailing from Hungary, these multitasking dogs thrive on human companionship.

A Vizsla's worst fear is being separated from her family.

So be prepared for her to follow family members from room to room.

They crave attention and long to be touching their owners.

There's even an old saying: "If you own a Vizsla, it lives on top of your head."

#1.
Appearance.

A sleek red coat, sometimes referred to as golden red or russet, is what sets the Vizsla apart.

Even their nose and the skin around their eyes are red.

They also have long, silky ears and a lean build for their frame.

Female vizslas are medium-sized at 44–55 pounds, while males are larger dogs—weighing up to 65 pounds.

They can look intense and razor-focused while they are on the hunt, but back home they share their sensitive, loving side.

#2.
Temperament.

This breed is nicknamed the "versatile Vizsla" or the "Velcro Vizsla" for their tendency to follow their owner around the house demanding attention and adoration.

Solo bathroom trips?
Nope, sorry!
Some owners might warn you that once you bring a Vizsla home, you might never get another private moment in your life.

When at rest, they are likely to be leaning against you or lying on top of your feet.

They are also a talkative breed, often whining, moaning, or making other noises to share their opinions.

And because they are a hard-working dog, they are happy to be given a job to do as part of the family.

If Vizslas attended high school, they'd be able to hang with the sporty and the nerdy kids all at once.

They are very smart dogs—and biddable—but tend to get bored easily, so they need lots of exercise.

They run hard and fast, with boundless energy, making them great jogging partners. In fact, the Vizsla Club of America (VCA) says,
"Since dogs generally don't run around a yard on their own, you will need to walk, run, jog, or hike each day with your Vizsla."

Vizslas can start their hunting career early and are capable of pointing and retrieving before they turn 1 year old.

They can hunt on land or water and are known to stay close to the hunter.

Their skilled nose proves very useful and they have an excellent memory.

Their keen senses also make them good watchdogs, guide dogs, drug-detection dogs, therapy dogs, and search-and-rescue dogs.

#3.
Living Needs.

A Vizsla needs to live in an active home with an owner who enjoys the great outdoors.

Take her on walks, runs, hikes, or hunting excursions—they also love to swim.

This is one dog who won't tolerate a couch-potato lifestyle.

"They are active and bred to hunt, making wonderful pets in the correct home,"
says Sierra Combs,
owner of Nosam Kennels in Greensburg, Ky.,
who has worked with the breed for the last seven years.

"They are not a breed to buy if you are looking for a lazy dog."
