Vizsla - The Hungarian Noble's favorite...

Versatile, stylish and dignified, the Vizsla, often referred to as the "Velcro Vizsla." is one of the most favored breeds of the early Hungarian nobility. A lively and gentle breed that has proven itself to be a truly trustworthy companion. Thanks to their energy levels, they need an active family who can provide them with enough exercise, as well as the companionship they thrive on. Give your Vizsla a job to do and he will be a happy dog. However, leave him to his own devices for hours on end and he'll soon become bored and boistrous. They bond very closely with their family and will be found following their 'pack' from room to room or just serving as a foot warmer. They also love to play games and mouth everything they come into contact with. The Vizsla excels as watchdog due to his keen senses and protective instinct. Training and socialization at an early age is a must for this breed, as they can become shy and timid if not socialized properly.
