The following points are called for in The Kennel Club Breed Standard for the Vizsla.

A medium sized dog who although medium boned must be robust with a distinguished appearance.

Russet Gold in colour and body well muscled.

The Vizsla character should be lively,obedient, intelligent, very loving and affectionate with a sensitive side.

The temperament of a Vizsla should be gentle mannered but have a well developed protective instinct.

Very few people can look at a picture of a Vizsla and not be impressed by it's appearance. When out with our dogs even " Non doggy people " will make a compliment about how nice they are.

Vizslas, although by no means common are becoming increasingly fashionable, more and more are seen in adverts ranging from insurance to dog food. It's a sad fact of life that some people see this increase in popularity a way to make a quick buck, not caring where their puppies go and if they don't have any puppies some  will even offer to sell one of their older dogs, sad but true.

Take time when setting out to acquire your new family member,  you will hopefully have your Vizsla for fifteen years, visit a few breeders, meet their dogs and pick the breeder that you feel you can trust.

Vizlsas DO make good family pets and you DO NOT have to shoot to own a Vizsla.

Having owned Vizslas for twelve years now we can honestly say that they are a delight to live with, once you've experienced life with a Vizsla nothing else will do !!!
