About the Vizsla
Vizslas are elegant, athletic Hungarian pointers known for their golden-rust coats and deep bond with their owners. They are nicknamed 'Velcro dogs' because they want to be touching their person at all times. Vizslas are gentle, affectionate dogs that are excellent with children and other dogs.
They are high-energy dogs that need extensive daily exercise. A bored, under-exercised Vizsla can become anxious and destructive. They excel in virtually all dog sports.
