A descendant of dogs which were believed to have roamed Central Europe with the Magyar hordes, it is believed that this unique breed has existed for hundreds of years. Facing near extinction during World War I, the Vizsla has since made a comeback and has proven himself a very unique canine, possessing characteristics of both the sleek pointer and the devoted retriever. Those who know this magnificent breed can attest to his uncanny versatility.
They say that the only happy Vizsla is a tired Vizsla and, perhaps, this definition rings true. A very active dog, this rusty-gold pointer requires a good deal of activity in order to keep him entertained. Failing to provide him with the exercise he needs can result in problems such as various vices, obesity, or extreme restlessness and possible aggression. At the very least, the Vizsla should have access to a dog run or a yard where he can stretch his legs and run.
Care and upkeep of your Vizsla dog or puppy is relatively simple - a gentle brushing, once or twice a week, will suffice and will help to keep his coat glossy by stimulating the oils in his coat and helping to free and remove any dander. To brush your Vizsla, use a soft-bristled brush and go with the grain of hair, brushing in a gentle and flicking motion. He will love the free back-scratching and look forward to your time spent together.
A Vizsla shouldn't need to be bathed too often either; once or twice a month is usually a good bet, provided that you don�t have an individual who rivals the old Peanuts character "Pig Pen." Aside from this, the only other major grooming needs that a Vizsla requires are keeping his nails clipped, his ears clean and, if he will let you, his teeth brushed. Should tooth-brushing be an issue, however, there are a variety of toys and treats now available, which help to reduce tartar build up and tooth decay.
