The Hungarian Vizsla is a medium sized hunting breed of dog that is distinct with it’s beautiful colour of rusty gold coat.
They Vizsla can be found in drawings back in the 10th century and, as their name would suggest, they originated in Hungary where they were used as hunting dogs. Due to their fantastic scent tracking skills and constant amount of energy made them ideal for hunting small game. They have also been known as the Hungarian Pointer as in Hungarian, Vizsla means Pointer. In order to protect the breed after World War II, the native Hungarians smuggled some of the Vizsla’s into both Austria and America. This lead to them being used in the creation of other breeds. The Vizsla has two cousins, the Wirehaired Vizsla and longhaired Vizsla, which is very rare. There are actually no longhaired Vizsla’s registered anywhere in the word currently, though some have been spotted throughout Europe. Today, the excitable, bundle of energy that is the Vizsla is perfect for any active house hold. They are a very intelligent breed of dog that are easy to train, providing they have a strong and confident pack leader. Coming from a hunting background, they require daily mental and physical stimulation to keep them happy and well balanced. Without this, they can easily become destructive and highly strung which can lead to a string of other behavioural issues. They are a gentle and loving dog and give back to their family plenty of affection and entertainment. They thrive in a working roll and love participating in agility, obedience competitions and love being put to work in retrieving games. When raised from a young age around other dogs and taught correct manners they make for a very social dog. They have been known to live well with other pets including cats, however it is important to not forget their hunting background and they should not be trusted unsupervised with smaller animals such a rabbits or guinea pigs. Aside from their high demand for daily exercise and strong pack leader, care for your Vizsla is relatively simple, with their short coat only needing to brushed every so often and bathed only when needed. Their natural oils in their coat help to repel dirt and odours and over grooming will break these oils down. They are an average shedder throughout the year. An exciting time for us at the start of every month is to announce our next Dog of the Month. A big congratulations to .......  Mae This beautiful little bundle of energy is a sweet Hungarian Vizsla puppy who we all just adore.
We know you will love learning about her breed so be sure to keep an eye out for her upcoming blogs! The Irish Terrier, believe to be one of the oldest of the Terrier breeds, is a medium size breed. They are oddly longer then what they are taller and being a Terrier, they are bursting with personality.
Their thick, wiry coat can be found in red, golden red, red wheaten or wheaten with a soft undercoat which was perfect to keep them warm when working in water, as they were used for many years ago. The Irish Terrier can be dated back to over two thousand years ago, with images of them being found in paintings from the 1700’s. It is unsure what breed of dog/s they descended from however they were originally found in Ireland, hence their name. They were perfect hunting dogs and used to clear dens, with their body shape making for ideal mobility in tight quarters. Over the last 2 thousand years they have been used as working dogs for varying tasks, including hunting, tracking, guard dogs and police and military work. Being a working dog, the Irish Terrier is a very smart breed who requires as much (if not more) mental then physical exercise and stimulation. They are not a lazy breed and enjoy being given a ‘job’ to do. They are often known as the ‘daredevils’ of the dog world by their fans and this is because they are a courageous dog who will take on any task at hand. Being an active breed, they require plenty of exercise daily. With the right exercise, working their mind and body, they can adapt to living in smaller apartment style homes and with a strong pack leader are a very well balanced, great member of the family. Without rules, direction and exercise, they can become very difficult and destructive. They are the ideal breed for an active person or family who wants a loyal companion that can keep up with them. Aside from their strong demand for exercise, they are a reasonably easy breed to care for, with no hereditary health issues and grooming being very basic. Their double coat is easy to brush as needed and they rarely shed, only needing to bathed when needed. As we enter a new month, it's time to announce our July Dogs of the Month for 2020.  Molly & Finbar These two pocket rockets are Irish Terriers, a rare breed to be seen. Be sure to keep an eye out for their upcoming blogs to learn more about these interesting terriers.
