Vizsla

The Vizsla is a versatile gundog with a striking red coat, bred for endurance and long, demanding days in the field. For centuries, these rugged yet elegant athletes have been a source of pride for Hungarian hunters, and their popularity continues to grow worldwide.

Instantly recognizable by its sleek golden-rust coat, the Vizsla stands between 21 and 24 inches at the shoulder and embodies the ideal of a lean, light-footed hunting companion. Its long, silky ears frame an expression that is gentle and affectionate at home, yet focused and intense while working. Bred to hunt in close partnership with humans, Vizslas form deep bonds with their owners and do not tolerate isolation well. Exceptionally athletic and mentally sharp, they excel in a wide range of sports and activities. With great stamina and a smooth, eager trot, they make outstanding companions for running, biking, and active lifestyles. Without sufficient mental and physical engagement, however, this highly intelligent breed cannot truly thrive.
