Vizsla

 

The Vizsla is a dog breed of Hungary and is in the Cynological International Federation (FCI) group 7 (Pointing Dogs), Group 1 (Sporting Group) of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKCs) and in the American Kennel Club (Sporting group). His name signifies in Hungarian "searcher" or "tracker." [quote necessary] The sports dogs and devoted friends are the Hungarian or Magyar Vizsla or Smooth-Haired Vizsla. The medium size of the Vizsla is one of the most attractive features of the breed. The Vizsla has had a prominent place as a hunter of the owl and the upland game between the dogs – the domestic and the family dog.The Vizsla is a natural hunter with a great nose and superb workmanship. They were born to labor in farms, woods or aquatic areas. Although they are energetic, friendly, obviously loving and sensitive, they are nevertheless afraid and have an advanced defensive instinct

Appearance

The Vizsla (Smooth-Haired) is a short-coated, characteristic, hunting dog. They are robust, yet lightweight, slender canines with distinct muscles.
Different breeds for Vizslas are commonly confused and vice versa. The Rhodesian Ridgebacks are usually mixed up in Redbone Coonhounds, Weimaran and. As a Weimaraner and Redbone coonhound, the physical shape for a Vizsla is quite similar, however the Vizsla is generally less muscular. But Rhodesian Ridgebacks and Weimaraner are bigger than Vizslas.
Vizsla's nose will always be roddish, blending with the color of the coat. Black, brown, light pink, light pink,

Color and coats

 

In several shading the standard coat is yellow French-row. Felling can also be described as colouring yellow, cotton brown, russet gold, and gold in dark sand. Solid, dark, red and pale yellow mahogany are considered defects and an offense in competition. Small areas of white are permissible, but not preferred on the front, neck or tail. There are some typical variations of the color of the Vizsla coat along your back (saddle marks).

The Vizsla criteria for American Kennel Club (AKC) specify that the coat must be short, fluid, thick and close to each other without a wooly undercoat. The Vizsla cannot be kept outside since it has no undercoat unlike most other races. They are self-cleaning canines, and if ever they seldom have to be bathed. They have minimal perceptible human "dog scent." They generate a scent after various ventures into the lakes and streams that is a milder variant of the "weather dog" odor. A fast bath and the scent is going to disappear.

Size

The Vizsla is an average dog in height and weight:

males: 23-27 inches (58-69 cm) tall.
45–66 lb (20–30 kg) in weight.
High females: 21-24 in (53-61 cm);
Weight: from 40 to 55 lb.

Tail

The US race standard requires a two-thirds-length docking of the tails. The American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Animal Hospital Association, and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association do not allow the breed of standards in nations where docking is illegal, such as United Kingdom. The Vizsla keeps its tail horizontal and pulls it fiercely through thick brush and undercover.

The Vizsla's docked tail is much lengthier than those of other dogs with traditionally docked tails such as the Weimaraners, Dobermanns, Boxers and Australians. Since the tail is docked when the pup is only three days old, it might cause the tail length of Vizsla dogs in various breeding programmes.

 

Temperament

Vizslas is extremely vigorous, kind, loyal, careful and dear to you. They soon establish deep ties to their owners, kids and even strangers. Often because of their loyalty and affection they are referred to as "velcro" dogs. If you feel ignored or otherwise sad, Vizslas will weep or whimper. Some of them are barking in foreigners when they believe they invade the "package" space. When trained to do so, they are exceptionally good guard dogs.

They are natural hunters with outstanding training skills. They are not only outstanding pickers, but also superb pickers. They will take use of their innate instincts on land and in the water. They must be softly and unobtrusively educated or physically corrected since they have delicate temperaments and they can be easily harmed if they are trained too aggressively. However, the owner must demonstrate calm authority throughout training, or the dog will take over the instruction.

Attention, workout and interaction flourish in Vizslas. Smart dogs, while they are young, require a great deal of mental stimulus. They may boring and be destructive when left alone for extended hours. Vizslas is highly docile dogs that may be ideal for kids with correct socialization and training. It is often noted that Vizsla insists on being beneath the cover of the owner's bed at night. The Vizsla likes to be near to its owner as far as possible.

Health

In 2008 the study of the Vizsla Club of America estimates the average lifetime of the Vizsla at 9.15 years, according to the American Kennel Club. The Vizsla is typically a robust dog, although some localized breeding operations with a small number of dogs have resulted in inherited diseases in some descendants including:

.Hip dysplasia is rare but may be done at a distance.
.Epileptic cancer of the canine (mast cell tumors, hemangiosarcoma, lymphoma)
.Adenitis sebaceous

If you have such intrinsic difficulties, responsible breeders do not choose dogs for breeding. Hypothyroidism, dwarfism, persisting right aortic arch, tricuspid valve dysplasia and progressive atrophy of the retinum may also be present in Vizslas. Epilepsy and lymphosarcoma are among the major hazards. Skin and dietary sensitivities may also be susceptible to vizslas.

Vizslas doesn't have a basecoat, unlike many other dogs. They are therefore not suitable for outdoor life. 

history

 

In the illustrated Chronicle in Vienna created by the Carmelite Francis of 1357 on the command of King Louis I of Hungary, the first written mention was documented on the Vizsla dog breed.
The Vizza remained the Turkish occupation of 1526–96, of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, of the First World War, of the Second World War and of the Hungarian People's Republic. However, in the 1800s (Boggs, 2000: 19) and after World War II again, Vizslas was faced with and has survived many near extinctions, including overwhelmed by British Pointers and German Shorthaired Pointers.

Only a dozen authentic type Vizls still living in the country indicated a diligent search for Hungary and an opinion survey by Hungarian sportspeople. The race grew again to popularity from that minimum stock. The many "strains" of the Vizsla are now rather characteristic as people breed stocks that fit their manner of hunting. In Romania, Austria, Slovakia and Serbia, out of Hungary, vizslas have been frequently produced.At the end of the Second World War the Vizsla began arriving in the United States. As interest in the race and commitment grew, the owners created the Vizsla Club seeking the recognition of the AKC. The registration of the AKC's foundation stock enabled the Vizsla owners, as the Vizsla became the 115th breed of the American Kennel Club, to receive formal recognition on 25 November 1960.In the creation of various races, especially the Weimarans, Wirehaired Vizsla and German Shorderaird Pointer races, the Vizsla was employed. There are several guesses regarding the same races and other pointer-races employed towards the end of the 19th century to rehabilitate the Vizsla race.

 

Vizsla in United Kingdom

The Kennel Club of Great Britain (KC) registers around 4,520 Vizsla pupies annually, making it one of the best 50. Year by year, as more people notice the race, it is increasing constantly. The Hungarian Vizsla Club and the Hungarian Vizsla Society are two breed clubs in the United Kingdom. A Vizsla called Hungargunn Bear It'n Mind was the winner of the Best In Show prize at Crufts 2010.
