Prepare for unexpected vet bills
The Vizsla Staff is a designer dog that is developed by crossing the Vizsla and the American Staffordshire Terrier. Known for being extremely active and playful, this hybrid has a charming personality that can win the hearts of any dog lover. Vizsla Staffs are also known for being affectionate and devoted to their owners, which make them a great family dog. Due to the parent breeds’ high levels of energy, this dog needs a good amount of exercise in order to stay healthy. If you want a dog that can accompany you on both your adventures and your lazy days, then the Vizsla Staff is perfect for you.Â
For a high-energy dog such as the Vizsla Staff, activities that entail a lot of moving around and mental stimulation are a must. A good example of such an activity is lure coursing. However, formal lure coursing trials and events almost always require the participants to be pure breeds. Since the Vizsla Staff is a designer dog, your pooch won’t be able to join an actual event. A simpler (and even cheaper!) alternative to this is a flirt pole game. Instead of the lure coursing machine, this simpler version involves manual labor on your end. Vizsla Staffs would find this game enjoyable and will also help satisfy their exercise requirement for the day.Â
Just like humans, dogs enjoy getting away from their usual routine and trying something new. An active and willing breed like the Vizsla Staff will make for the perfect getaway and backpacking buddy. Backpacking is a good activity that will help strengthen your bond with your dog. Not only that, it is also a good way to keep both you and your pooch in tip-top shape. Your Vizsla Staff will also appreciate being with you and having the opportunity to take in some beautiful views and smell new scents. The great thing about this activity is that backpacking can be done year-round; you just have to bring the essentials according to what time of the year you plan to go.Â
Parkour is a sport where extremely fit athletes utilize movement and obstacle course training to get from one point to another. Parkour practitioners are usually seen jumping off buildings, running up through walls and flipping over benches and simply using the world as their personal obstacle course. But did you know that there is a dog version of this discipline? Canine parkour, also known as urban agility, is the practice of using day-to-day items and things to physically and mentally stimulate your dog. Unlike traditional agility, there is no pre-made obstacle course. Instead, you will use your creativity to turn your surroundings into your dog’s very own agility course. Â
Vizsla Staffs are fast and agile, traits which make them a great flying disc playmate. All you need is a Frisbee disc and a wide enough space to play in. Throw the disc and watch as your dog runs after and catches the disc with ease.Â
Known to live an active lifestyle, Vizsla Staffs, just like all dogs, also need some rest and relaxation. Make sure your pooch gets some downtime by bringing them to a doggy spa. All you have to do is leave your dog, pay for the services and let the professionals take over. Your dog will end up feeling more relaxed and fresh after their spa session.Â
