Vizla Training: Breed Facts You Need to Be Aware Of

Vizslas are often times mistaken for Redbone
Coonhounds, Weimaraners and Rhodesian Ridgebacks
in terms of physical appearance. Although the
physical appearance does not necessarily impact
a dog's personality, it's still important for a
Vizsla owner to understand every vital
information about the breed for such facts can
be utilized when trying to figure out Vizsla
training tactics that would ideally suit his
pet.

- The Vizsla is a medium-sized breed yet lean
and have defined muscles. The standard for this
breed requires golden-rust color in various
shadings which can also be described as
copper/brown, russet gold and dark sandy gold.
The normal height for males is 22-25 inches and
21-24 inches for females. Males should weigh
45-66 pounds while females weigh 40-55 pounds.

- Unlike the appearance, the disposition of a
Vizsla affects the training the same way it
influences the dog-owner relationship. Vizslas
are very high energy dogs thus you have to be
given activities and exercise to keep them
physically as well as mentally busy. Activities
for Vizslas generally involve retrieving, be it
on land or water, given their natural instincts
as pointers and retrievers. On the contrary,
rough treatment and harsh Vizsla training aren't
advisable for this breed considering their
gentle, caring and extremely affectionate
character.

- The Vizsla is a healthy breed and may live
life up to 10-14 years but poor breeding could
cause hip dysplasia, canine epilepsy and
sebaceous adenitis. Health issues like
hypothyroidism, dwarfism, lymphosarcoma as well
as skin and food allergies can also be seen
among this breed. By knowing such health
problems, it won't be too complicated for you to
plan what training approaches to utilize. In
addition, the health issues are also less likely
to progress since you know what activities to
avoid and what to pursue.

Although the coat color or length might not be
significant when it comes to training, it still
pays to learn those information particularly if
you consider having your pet registered to a
particular kennel club. Knowing the size on the
other hand can help you regulate your pet's food
intake to prevent weight problems.

Training a Vizsla to become a well-mannered dog
you've been dreaming of should not be a pain in
the neck nor it is supposed to cause
disappointment on your part. Training must be
fun both for you and your dog. Besides that, it
is also one of the best methods to bond with
your pet and learn more about each other. It is
during training that loyalty, wonderful
friendship and great love grow. You might as
well enjoy every moment of Vizsla training!
