The Hungarian dog breed, Vizsla, is popularly known as an elite type of sporting dog and as a dependable animal companion. During Eighth century, this breed has been depicted as a hunting companion on wall paintings of the Magyar tribe, people who once roamed parts of Hungary. From those times until now, the Vizsla is still the same breed that's recognized by a lot people as an excellent sporting dog.
The Vizsla is a distinguished hunter and has been accompanying legions of hunters during hunting trips for centuries. These fanciers discovered that not only does this breed have a great skill in smelling but in retrieving and pointing as well. So together with the fact that it is the smallest breed of its type, the Vizsla is being recognized as the smallest of all all-round pointer breeds.
In terms of body build, the Vizsla is robust, light and lean with defined musculature; and stately in posture and bearing. However, this breed is often mistaken for a Weimaraner, Redbone Coonhound or Rhodesian Ridgeback since they all seem to share similar body build and coat colors. So in order to point out the real Vizsla, remember that it must possess a nose that is of reddish shade, which blends with the coat color.
Moreover, the nails and eyes of a real Vizsla should also blend with the coat color. The standard coat color for this breed is solid golden-rust but there are some litters that are born solid rust-colored. Copper or brown, gold and dark sandy gold are some shades that are acceptable for this breed.
As the American Kennel Club dictates, the Vizsla's coat "should be short, smooth, dense and close-lying, without woolly undercoat". Because of the lack of undercoat, this breed tends to get cold easily so it mustnt be left outside for a very long time. Moreover, this condition also suggests that the Vizsla sheds less compared to other breeds.
The Vizsla is considered as a "self-cleaning" dog and so it only requires bathing once in a while. Moreover, the breed standard also requires for this dog to be docked as it is more desirable for its safety. An undocked Vizsla tail tends to experience splitting and bleeding that later ends up in more painful amputation.
Aside from being a superb hunter, the Vizsla is also considered as a wonderful companion because it is energetic, gentle, loving and sensitive. It is a loyal dog to the master and tends to want constant attention and affection. It goes where the master goes and because of this, it is called the "Velcro dog".
This breed has also a protective instinct because it tends to fight back whenever it is provoked or threatened. It is also very smart and highly biddable but should not be handled using harsh criticisms and forceful physical corrections because it tends to get hurt emotionally too easily. It is also an avid swimmer and in fact would jump on a pool whenever it sees one; thus, it makes a good retriever not only in land but in water as well. - 20511
