Dog of the Week: Vizsla


Vizsla dogs are very interesting. In fact, they’re the Dog of the Week!

Appearance:

Vizsla dogs look like bloodhounds!

Vizsla dogs are very unique. They have reddish-brown coats that make them look like bloodhounds. But there’s a difference. Bloodhounds have either black, brown, light pink noses, or at least something that isn’t reddish-brown. But Vizsla dogs have noses that blend in with their coat. This makes them easy to recognize. Also, to tell your pet Vizsla between a stray Bloodhound, you’ll want to give it a collar, too!

Personality:

The eye color of the Vizsla is blue!

Vizsla dogs may look tough when they are fully grown, but actually, they are very attached to their owners, and aren’t known to be aggressive! Although, there are sometimes they are overprotective of their owners and are big-time barkers if they sense a threat to the family.

Vizslas are also very athletic and energetic, and they will get bored if they are left alone or have to play by themselves when everyone is busy. So, make sure to give your Vizsla exercise because they also need rest.

Vizslas are also a little shy, but when trained, they are very good with strangers, children, and other animals! (Plus, sociable.)
