The Hungarian Vizsla is a sleek, muscular, medium-sized hunting dog with a beautiful rusty-gold colored short coat. In Hungarian “Vizsla” means alert and responsive. It is robust but lightly built. In the past few years this breed has become a popular work, show and companion dog.

Vizslas can also be prone to skin and food allergies, any symptoms such as skin rash should be reported to your vet. Epilepsy is an occasional problem.

Condiciones de Vida

Best suited for country living, it does best with at least an average-sized fenced yard. This dog is a great jumper and if bored will try to escape from a yard that does not have a sufficiently high fence. It doesn’t do as well in a city or suburban life but will adapt if sufficient exercise is given. It would make a great companion for a hunter or a jogger.
