back in 1970 my father returned from a hunting trip in New Brunswick with my Uncle who had a Vizsla, and a GSP. i don't know how many woodcock he brought home, but i sure remember coming down over the stairs to meet our New dog "Pete". Uncle Jim sold him to Dad for $400.00 - i was 3 and i loved that dog until he died when he was 14. i knew i'd have another when i "grew up". so 2 years ago little Blaze flew home to Newfoundland from Mallorytown, Ontario and is much loved by his 3 boys, my husband who grew up with sheepdogs!) and me. i will always have a V.

I am loving reading all of these honest counts of love at first sight!!!

About 6 years ago I was at a party and the couple, who owned a Hungarian restaurant in Pittsburgh, had an adolescent Vizsla named Hazel. She was rambunctious, beatiful, and the life of the party. I knew if I ever got a dog I would research this breed.

Fast forward to 2009 and my husband I were ready to take the plunge. We researched many breeds: Dobermans, Weims, Ridgebacks, Bloodhounds, Greyhounds, Great Danes.... we kept coming back to the Vizsla.

Velcro, low-maintenance grooming wise, love to run, little to no "dog" smell, beautiful, unique, with a long life expectancy. And "demonstrably affectionate" (aka you will have a close relationship with their tongue).

I'm a fanatical hunter. I have raised trained and hunted at least one dog in all three fields of hunting. Labrador (retriever), Brittany (Pointer), Redbone and Walker Hounds (trail/treeing). With those experiences I wanted to try a versatile breed to train for all types of hunting. I was narrowed down to two or three breeds with Vizsla at the top of my list. I generally hunt smaller properties and needed a close working dog. My wife wanted a close companion. And I wanted a dog that would be friendly with my youngest son. Having used various training methods in the past I also wanted to try something different. More positive than negative training. A Vizsla was my perfect match, but I waited three years for the right litter and right pup from a sea of mostly field trial and show dogs. Five years ago she found me. Over these 5 years having hunted all sorts of game across 5 States, she has proven to be my lifetime dog as I have taken her to her roots into what she was born to do.
