This Time It's True: Vizsla Dog Eats Books

We've all heard of the childhood excuse "my dog ate my books" back in elementary school but of course it never was true. However I just came across a funny New Zealand article about an adorable vizsla dog eating his owners' books. Here's the article from the http://www.scoop.co.nz website.

"An English couple who recently took a trip of a lifetime to New Zealand discovered their curious canine had a hankering for his own taste of 'Down Under'.

The prying puppy Zorro, a Hungarian Vizsla, was delighted at his owners' return and couldn't wait to see what our fair country looked like.

He found a precious momento, the scenic coffee table book New Zealand Landscapes which had been purchased at Aoraki Mount Cook's Hermitage Hotel, and promptly digested its contents.

Desperate to replace the book but unable to source it in the UK, the owners contacted The Hermitage Hotel who sent a replacement and a treat for Zorro."

Sad Story in Idaho: Yellow Vizsla Believed To Be Stolen!

I saw this article on the kdik.com website, a CBS affiliate in Idaho Falls. The Hebdon family lost their beautiful 5-month old yellow vizsla, Annie on June 20 and the family believes poor Annie was robbed for money. It's a really sad story and I hope Annie is back with her family. Here's an excerpt from the article.

"Annie had been in the back yard with the Hebdon's other two dogs, and there are no signs she dug her way out. The only thing out of the ordinary was the gate." Hebdon said, "Our gate wasn't latched all the way. It's usually locked pretty securely, we make sure of that."

As the hebdon's handed out fliers to their neighbors some mentioned they were missing their dogs too. And since a Vizsla can cost one or two thousand dollars, the Hebdon's believe someone is stealing dogs to make a few bucks. "I'm sure somebody took her for money and they're not going to get a lot out of her being we have the papers. But I'll give them more than they're going to get out of her. I don't care what they want," said Hebdon.

As for the two remaining dogs, the Hebdon's are going to keep an extra close eye on them. Hebdon added, "If you have dogs lock them up."

The Hebdon's didn't want to specify the amount of the reward they are offering for the safe return of Annie, but they do say it is significant. If you have any information about the missing dog you can contact Ashley Hebdon at 604-3446, or Gordon Hebdon at 604-0720."

This is a very active and zestful dog with a tremendous amount of stamina. Vizslas are safe with kids and can rapidly adapt to family life. The vizsla is a great retriever with a top notch nose, and is a phenomenal bird and small game hunter.

Thank you for stopping by Vizsla 365! If you love Vizslas as much as I do you probably have looked at quite a few websites dedicated to the breed. At www.dogbreedinfo.com/vizsla.htm they do a great job explaining what the breed is known for including temperament, height, weight, health problems, exercise, life expectancy, and much more.

Here is an excerpt from their "Description" :

"The Vizsla is a sleek, muscular, medium-sized hunting dog with a beautiful rusty-gold colored short coat. The front legs are straight. The head is lean, chiseled and aristocratic, with a long tapering muzzle. The muzzle is neither pointed like a Dachshund nor square like an English Pointer. The slightly domed skull is broad between the ears and has a line up the middle of the forehead. The round-tipped ears are pendant and rather long. The neck is muscular, without dewlap. Its musculature is well developed over the entire body. The tail is docked to 2/3 its original length. The eye color blends in with the coat color and the nose is brown. It has a developed jaw, porcelain-white teeth and a distinguished, robust, elastic gait. The hair is short, abundant, and tight to the whole body. The coat can be solid golden rust in different shadings. In some standards, solid dark mahogany red and pale yellow are faulty, and any noticeable area of black in the coat is a serious fault."
