Our boy (almost one year old now) suddenly developed a deep dislike for the car. For months it's been a joy for him to hop into the boot, enjoy some chews and treats on his bed and drive with us to the park, vet, for training etc. We had him crated initially, but now there's no room for a...

Hello everyone, We are new vizsla parents over here. My husband and I have experience with golden retriever and labrador retriever puppies, but we are quickly learning vizsla puppies are a whole new beast! Our boy Maverick is 20 weeks old. He is getting so much better and my hopes are that we...

I haven't posted a Peanut update in a while as he's been a really great puppy, in some ways very balanced and mature, in some a challenging monster ;) The initial months (and your advice and support) prepared me for it, so - bar the odd weird behaviour - he's been great. But now, he's nearly 8...

Hi everyone, looking to see if anyone has experienced this with their new puppy and it turned out to be completely normal. I have raised pups several times ( this is our first V) and I’ve not experienced such frequent peeing. Our male pup is 10 weeks old and we’ve had him for a week. Please...

This is Louie. Hes 13 weeks old and we couldn’t be happier. He’s developed a little while spot on his head that is getting larger. It looks like a second one is forming as of today. Does anyone know what this is? Does it require medical attention? Can it go two more weeks until our next...

Our 10 week old V has been nothing short of a joy. However, like so many other V owners, when the sharkies hit our patience can be tested. We have a plethora of toys to try to keep him entertained but he seems to get bored of them quickly. Probably his favorite thing to chew on thus far are...

Peanut (currently just under 4 months old) hates it when we put his harness on. He liked the first harness for maybe two days, then started resisting when we put it on. Then he actually chewed through it so we upgraded the harness. With the new one, we proceeded very slowly, giving him plenty...

So here he is. One day before his 3rd month anniversary. So much fun, so much stress, so much more to come. Here's what I've learnt so far: He's a fast learner. Lightning fast. Most of the time he gets new commands straight away and remembers them. Sometimes he learns from context and...

So Peanut loves eating grass. And I know that’s what dogs do and I guess I should be ok with that. But the strange thing is, he absolutely loves dead grass, he pulls out big chunks with a lot of soil stuck to them, and just munches on them. His mouth is black and full of soil. I suspect it’s...

Hey all, I've been reading these forums for the past few weeks and they're so much better than many 'highly recommended' books. We just got our new V puppy, Peanut, he turns 9 weeks old today. He's been with us for over a week, and he has a crate (mostly happy with it, even manages 5 (!!)...

Have 4 1/2 month male vizsla. So far I've taken his on a few trail walks ("hikes"), longest today which was ~3 miles. I have him on a 30ft lead I retract and let loose depending on the terrain and whether we are encountering other people or dogs. SO far, he's done very well on the whole...

My new Vizsla puppy Copper is only 5.5 lbs at exactly eight weeks today. That seems very small based on what I’m reading. Do some start out that small, or is this very unusual?

Our 12 week old Holly has turned from a sometimes biting monster to a full on seek us out and chomp monster. I am redirecting her to toys, but this doesn’t always work. It often means she needs to relieve herself outside, she’s hungry or tired. I think I’m on the right track, but any advice is...

Hi all! I've been an outsider on this forum until now. We just adopted a vizsla just over 3 months old and brought him home yesterday. So far he is perfect. I drove hundreds of miles through a snow storm both ways to get him and it was worth it :). I'm wondering if I could get any advice about...

Hi, We have a male Vizlsa who is intact and 11 months old. This morning we took him down the park and let him off around 30/40 yards from the entrance, he then sniffed the air and sprinted back to the entrance, then proceeded to run across a busy road where school traffic was. No idea why, and...

I searched this forum for advice on what is the appropriate age for V-female to be spayed . All posts on that topic are old and those owners have a lot of experience but are not sharing how it all turned out for them . It is 2021 the vet I contacted with "what is their take on not spaying too...

Hey everyone! My husband and I decided that our first pup was going to be a Vizsla, and we took our Luna home at 8 weeks, about a week and a half ago. Things are… going, lol. Sometimes going great, mostly going hectic! The car has been a challenge. Her ride home wasn’t too bad - after a few...

Hello Vizsla owners!!! I really need your help!!! I have a vizsla girl 6 month old, she is very friendly, loves kids and is gentle with other dogs. But lately, maybe two last weeks, at the off leash park, the dogs started to be very aggressive with her. It has never happened before, but now...

Hi everyone! I have a 10 week old vizsla girl, Tilley, and so far she has been pretty great. Of course she's a typical V and is driving us insane lol but she is so smart and a bold/very confident pup. We had our 2nd week of puppy socialization/training class tonight and it was a nightmare, I...

So my husband and I just got our very first puppy together and it’s a Vizsla. She is just barely 8 weeks and we are worried about the separation anxiety and crate Training. We both work full-time but I only go into the office two days a week. So I can be around a bit more often. But we are...
