A Healthy Vizsla Dog

To keep an eye on your dog's health here are some vital signs that you should be aware of; breathing for healthy Vizsla dogs is between 15 and 30 respirations a minute during rest time. Your dog's temperature should be between 99.5 and 102.5 degrees. The heart rate for a healthy dog during rest is usually between 60 and 120 beats per minute. The normal glucose level for a dog is between 80 to 120 mg/dl and you can test them with a human glucose meter.

Know that with all dogs many things are poisonous including such things as Tylenol, Advil, chocolate, matches, cosmetics, deodorants, onions, suntan lotion and soap. Call your veterinarian immediately if you suspect your dog has ingested any of these.

Vizsla Rescue AZ

Vizsla Rescue AZ is an organization that rescues purebred Vizsla dogs and is associated with the Vizsla Club of America. Most of the Vizsla dogs they rescue are owner surrendered or sheltered rescues.

These dogs are generally in foster homes with people who are willingly and lovingly caring for them. The Vizsla Rescue AZ group then comes in and spends time with each Vizsla dog. They get to know their temperament and personalities and try hard to place them with an appropriate family. They also work on basic training, obedience, socialization, house manners and any other issues that need to be cared for at the time.

The Vizsla dogs are then spayed or neutered and given all necessary shots. After all this, the adopted family will then be asked to cover these costs. But to get a purebred and loving Vizsla dog it will be well worth it.

Hungarian Vizslas Loved by Sportsmen

Jeff Paulus of rural Superior, Michigan has been hunting with Germanic wirehair dogs since nineteen eighty six.

"I think that the wirehair is built for pheasants," Paulus stated. "I think that's where they really, really shine. For a pointing dog, they just really want the birds. They're a high-desire dog that loves birds."

Mr. Paulus is a fanatical trainer of his wirehairs. He commands them to hold a point, and he knows how to interpret a dog on point.

"If they've got the bird pinned, I can tell," he states. "It's just the intensity of the dog. If the dog is looking at me, I know the bird has moved off."

"On wounded game, they're amazing," Paulus said. "They're bred to track. There's not a pointing breed that's going to be better [at retrieving]. That's the reason I have 'em."

"If you're not putting your time in with the pointing breeds, you're going to have problems in the field," he said. "I've been on trips like that."

"People say, 'What's the difference between a Lab and a wirehair?' " Paulus said. "I tell 'em, if you want a Jeep, get a Labrador. If you want a Ferrari, get a wirehair."

Duluth's Kurt Radke purchased his 1st Vizsla 4 years ago because other dogs gave allergy problems to family members. Hungarian Vizslas, a wirehaired pointer, are famed for being hypo-allergenic.

"Phenomenal," Radke said. "Seven months old, her first day in the field, she bumped the first rooster. On the second bird, 15 feet away, she locked up. She proceeded to point three in a row in 10 minutes."

"What I enjoy about the dog is just the grace," Radke said. "They move with a kind of elegance."

"I'm not a purist. If the bird breaks and runs, I expect to get the creeping point," Radke said.

Wirehaired Vizslas Slightly Different, Same Great Dog

Looking for a wirehaired Vizsla? Then you need to know that the great disposition, character and good natured qualities are the same as the smooth haired Vizslas but the look is a bit different.

Both Vizslas have the same russet gold colored coats but the wirehaired Vizsla dog will have a slightly different texture and length of their coats and the shape of their skulls. The wirehaired Vizsla has a slightly more squared jawline and the most notable part is the wirehair itself coming down around the muzzle forming a beard as well as the longer coat on the entire body.

They are strong and well muscled as well as graceful and elegant. Wirehaired Vizslas are lively and gentle mannered yet fearless and very protective of their owners. Like their close cousins they are bred for hunting, pointing and retrieving on land or in water.

Hungarian Vizslas Are Versatile Dogs

Hungarian Vizslas prove they are quite a versatile dog! On top of being a great family dog that is good around children, an excellent hunting dog or 'pointer' dog, a dog who loves water and swimming, they are also dogs that love to climb trees. Check out this great video of a Hungarian Vizsla that just gallops right up this tree with ease. And notice how the other dog doesn't dare venture up where he does not feel comfortable.

We are not saying all Hungarian Vizslas will be tree climbers but there are stories out there of them darting right up trees after squirrels and other animals. This tree climbing video only proves that the Vizsla dog breed is really a great, amusing and even helpful animal to have around.
