I’ve walked three vizslas and they all thrive on affection. Enjoy positive reinforcement and love walks. The really like to play and love humans. They can be unfriendly to other dogs especially if they feel the pack space is being invaded. They want to be around their owners as much as possible. Very sweet temperaments. Always wagging their tales as they are very interested in their surroundings.

This Vizla mix was STRONG. And pulled. A LOT. So it was a heck of a workout for me! But still a very sweet and kind dog. When kids walked by I got nervous about the dog possibly jumping on and knocking them down so held him tight, but he seemed as if he wanted to say hello and would have been friendly. Other people and other dogs were also triggers, but still only because he wanted to say hi.

Vizsla's are such friendly animals! They love to keep a quick pace on the walks but are never pulling too hard. I did walk a Vizsla in the snow and they had to wear two coats and boots. The owner said that they do not do well with weather extremes, so this was something I kept in mind in the future when walking other Vizslas was to clarify if a coat or extra layers was needed.

Vizslas are awesome. They can be very vocal. They like to talk, bark or just make a bunch of noises. They love to fetch. The vizslas I walk would run and fetch all day if I’d let them. They’re very sweet. They can be a little overbearing and if they’re not trained well can sometimes jump on people or be too forward with other dogs.

A very pleasant walk very friendly very well behaved very well trained lots of fun on the walk with this dog

This one particular vizsla I walked was very high energy, pulled a lot and was very strong. Was not yet trained on a leash and made the walk un enjoyable for some of it since he pulled me the entire time. But very sweet and very lovable. Lots of hugs and kisses when I met him and before I left

Extremely friendly and love humans. Most i walk are kept in crates because they can have too much energy and many are well trained as a way to harness their energy and outlet it. Overall happy playful dogs

Vizslas are wonderful, loving, happy dogs. They're incredibly energetic -- one of the most "go go go" breeds I've encountered during my days as a dog sitter and dog walker! They're always super excited to get leashed up and go outside on a walk. They love fast paced activities including running, tug-of-war, fetch and playing with other pup friends. They're generally friendly with other dogs and very good with people. They're gorgeous dogs and require minimal upkeep in terms of grooming due to their short coats. With lots of energy comes to need for lots of exercise to keep them fit, happy and stimulated. I would imagine they could become destructive and bored if not exercised enough. Not the best breed for a small city apartment, but if given enough free reign to run around they can do well. Overall, a very fun and sweet breed of dog.

Vizslas are velcro dogs and love keeping close and cuddling with you. They also have tons of energy and need to explore everything. Vizslas do best when their given a job i.e. fetching a ball or guiding a walk. Ultimately they're just big balls of energy that want to be cuddled & loved.

Very good experience right off the bat super friendly wanted to jump up to say hi and give kisses, super energtic. Once outside wanted to smell everything and run around lol had a ton of energy accompanied by a really playful demeanor! Not aggressive toward other dogs but small animals did catch his eye

I have only had the opportunity to walk one Vizsla breed of dog throughout my time at wag, but it was an unforgettable walk! From the moment I walked into the owner’s home, the Vizsla was extremely friendly, inviting, and genuinely excited to see me and go for a nice long walk! The Vizsla was trained well to put on her leash and wait patiently before going on her walk. As with many other dog breeds, the Vizsla was very responsive to most commands and was obedient if there was a treat in front of her. While on her walk, the Vizsla did tend to pull a good deal of the time. Because of their build, the Vizsla was a very strong dog, so the pull was somewhat difficult to handle at first. The Vizsla was very high energy and wanted to walk very quickly. In between fast walking, I tried to run a bit with the pup because she loved the exercise and that way she would not pull as much if we were only walking. The Vizsla I walked was only about a year old; therefore she was full of energy and still learning right from wrong behaviors. This particular Vizsla was very sly when we crossed paths with any food particles on the ground; she was quick to eat anything edible in sight, so I had to keep a very close eye on her. Although she had some unbroken tendencies, this breed of dog was so loving and loyal. I felt very protected while I was walking with the Vizsla. Additionally, the pup received multiple compliments on how beautiful she and her coat was. The Vizsla has a very short coat that does not require as much maintenance as other dog breeds; therefore, her coat was nice and shiny. During our walk, the Vizsla encountered other dogs that were walking with their owners. The Vizsla was not aggressive towards the dogs, but would pull tremendously to go near them because she was excited and wanted to make friends! Vizslas are quite friendly to humans and their doggy counterparts alike! If one is considering buying a Vizsla pup, they must be sure they are able to provide the love and needed exercise and attention that the Vizsla craves and needs. Without such stimulation, some Vizslas may become restless and destructive. With proper care and attention, Vizslas are loving, energetic, and loyal companions that are fit for most families!

The vizsla I have walked is very young. I was his first wag walker and he warmed up to me pretty quickly. He was just 10 weeks old the first time I walked him. Due to him just leaving his litter mates his mom was worried about separation anxiety. He hadn’t made a mess when I arrived and he peed and pooped while we played. He loved playing tug and chasing his tennis balls and chewing my fingers. He was so soft and cuddly and gave me lots of kisses. When I left he bowed as I much and did not want me to leave. I finally did and I felt so bad. The second time I walked him was about 3-4 weeks later and he had grown so much. He didn’t recognize me at first but then after a moment realized who I was and we got to playing right away. He again didn’t want me to leave bad I hated leaving but I enjoyed our time playing ball chase and cuddling. He is a sweet pup and I hope I get to walk him once more.

The vizsla I walk is a sweetie, and SO energetic. He’s a little high maintenance, but he is still a puppy! He needs a little training because he has so much energy and hasn’t harnessed it yet (pun intended). He’s a little difficult to get undger control when he knows he’s going for a walk! He’s so friendly though and wouldn’t hurt a fly. It’s great to walk him because I get an hour long power walk in!

Viszlas are very friendly dogs and range from mild-mannered to hyperactive. They need lots of exorcise and love running and fetching as they are hunting dogs. The Viszlas I have cared for are extremely loving dogs and love nothing more than to cuddle and get belly rubs. One demanded I hold it like a baby. Sometimes they can be real clowns and make funny noises. Viszlas have real personality and can definitely be your best friend as long as you give them lots of walks though they would prefer to run with you.

I have worked with one Vizsla. They are a breed one commonly crosses paths with, but beyond those types of interactions I never really knew much about them, or how to pronounce the name of their breed anyway. My limited interactions have proven to be a great introduction to the breed. They look and behave quite similarly to Labradors: they are also just as suited for human companionship and city life. They are very calm and their positive attitude is contagious. They like to sniff around like other dogs, but this one showcased an ever-ready sensitivity to sound, which I have seen bypassed in most Labradors. The Vizsla is independent, astute but not aloof. They are one of many breeds who prefer to chime in and dictate the pattern/pathway of a walk, to customize it for their comfortability. They are excited to be out and about but if they cross a familiar path, they will use it to their advantage, most likely to form a short cut to the way home. This particular Vizsla I have in mind would sit on her own, either to let me know her walks didn't usually go in a certain direction or simply to allow herself time to adjust to the ever changing sounds of the city. They are quite articulate under pressure (of sounds, of temperature) and this showcases their commonly high intelligence. They make for truly wonderful companions.

He enjoys long walks. He loves playing and catching a ball. He is calm and friendly. He is never agressive.

before deciding to get another dog, I did extensive research- I wanted a smart dog that could keep up with me, and not bother my allergies. Being in Montana, there are some times where she doesn't want to go outside; she usually does pretty good until it gets ten below zero (F). If I put a coat on her, she usually isn't as active, she just walks around like I've taped sticks to her legs. we have chickens, and she's more afraid of them than they are of her. she once got in a fight with a fox trying to protect them, and has a scar on her eye from the fight. She's extremely clingy, always following me around the house- she's laying on me as I type this. when I go to bed, she gets mad if she's not under a blanket-she'll wake me up. She's been extremely easy to train-she'll throw things away and put silverware in the sink, without me saying a word. She can jump fences, but knows which ones she shouldn't jump. When greeting strangers, she tends to just smell them and run away, as she hates being pet-even by me. she just wants to lay on people. I used to live in the middle of nowhere, so she became a decent watch dog. After moving to a highly populated area, she's gotten used to what should and shouldn't be going on in the neighborhood. she will bark at strange cars or people, but ignores the neighbors if they're walking or driving by. Her only real health problem is that she's extremely allergic to cottonwood trees. she gets welts over her entire body- the vet says she's never seen an allergic reaction get that bad.
