In reply to Billy Bean. Love our Vizsla! We have lots of property for her to roam on, we've never had to worry about her staying too far, as she is a velcro dog... Very agreeable to train, never destructive, she isn't a chewers either. Her grooming is minimal, and her smell is non existent. She was the best choice for our family. My husband hunts and I run, but she prefers to hang with the teens and chase balls all day! She was the best decision for a dog breed. The only downside is her neediness... if I'm cooking ahead there, working out she's there, sleeping she's there... and if not she whines loud enough to let us know she wants to be there. Also, her excitement is unmatched. You've heard of cocaine bear? I give you cocaine dog (at least according to any guests)

We have 2 Vizslas. One male, one female. The female turned out larger than male (different moms) both had same sire. The female is a “talker” and I do mean talker – sometimes we expected her to break out in English (once she did- story for another time). Male whines to communicate but will howl the blues when he thinks dad has driven away. They required abundant exercise- hiking and swimming, especially when younger. They stick to our side no matter where we go. We have gently trained them and they respond to normal speaking voice. Ours were crate trained from inception and they love their own “rooms”. We highly recommend crate training- everybody sleeps better. The most destructive chewing times were when they were young. Ex: if a sprinkler was being fixed, the male would dig it up and bring it back. We learned to do repairs with him in house. We love and cherish them.

I am a disabled veteran & have a 6 year old Viszla I bought at 6 months old.
She is affectionate, loyal, listens well & very in tune to my mental health issues.
Although not trained as a service dog, she certainly has become my best friend & gives me reason to get up every morning.

I have had 2 Vizsla, they never had dog smell. Lot of energy and easy to train. Yet, in hungary they say, there are dogs and than there are Vizslas, one meaning, easy to train but they have strong human like personalities, so dont push them hard or they get a bit head strong.
They dont small, but mine would 2 a year go found something to role in that could stink and hard to wash out. They are love on 4 legs and will never leve you side.

I have had Vizslas for 40 years. Would never have another breed!!!! No smell, so clean, so loving. I can leave them outside with no supervision. I’ve never had one leave our farm. Each one has lived to be at least 13, one 14. The downside has been health issues. One had mast cell tumors at age nine. We opted for chemo treatments and he died of old age at 13. My current one has pancreatitis and can only eat a low fat prescription diet. He is 13 now. Warning! Bedtime will never be the same. They have to sleep with you, heads on the pillow beside you. Manys the time I will wake up clinging to one foot of the bed and no covers. They like being covered with throws. RUN DON’T WALK TO ADD ONE TO YOUR FAMILY

Our lovely lady definitely doesn’t have that dog smell. Her feet smell a little like biscuits (UK digestives).

Definitely high energy, very intelligent, ours can be slightly aloof and quite protective but is a persistent cuddler.

If you’re active, and want a loyal and steadfast companion, I don’t think you can do much better.

I own 2 Vizslas. One is a barker (4 yrs old), the other isn’t. They are easily trained and if hiking or running they won’t get far from you. They love people and are truly “Velcro”dogs. I had 2 before these guys and will never have another breed. Yes, they need exercise, but so do I!
