About the Vizsla
The Vizsla is a medium dog breed originating in Hungary. Adult dogs typically weigh 44 to 60 pounds and live 12 to 14 years. The breed is described as affectionate, high-energy, velcro-dog, sensitive.
Very active households (running, hiking, hunting) where the dog is rarely left alone. The breed is famously a "velcro" companion. Sedentary owners, or homes where the dog is alone for long hours — separation distress is common.
Adult Vizslas need about 90 minutes of daily exercise; adolescent dogs typically need 120 minutes. The coat is short-coated with moderate shedding, and brushing every 4 weeks keeps the coat manageable.
