Vizsla

Hungary is the country of origin of the Vizsla, where there are mild
winters and abundant habitats for game birds.

The Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-coated hunting dog, with a
distinguished appearance and bearing, and a docked tail. They are rather
lightly built, but robust. The coat is an attractive golden rust. This is a
dog of power and drive in the field, yet is a tractable and affectionate
companion in the home. Field-conditioned coats, as well as a brawny or
sinewy muscular condition, and honourable scars, indicating a working
hunting dog, are never to be penalised.
The qualities that make a "dual dog" are always to be appreciated, not depreciated.

The Vizsla is a natural hunter endowed with a good nose and an above
average trainability. Although they are lively, gentle mannered,
demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and
possessed of a well-developed protective instinct.

The breed has a reputation for being hard to train for a novice as they can
be susceptible to shyness, nervousness and timidity than a Labrador
Retriever - however when properly trained - these dogs make good
distinctive and loyal gundogs.
