​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile.We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted (Travel Tuesday is a lovely distraction but also a great way to get new holiday ideas). ​

The Hungarian Vizsla

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.
