We have a wonderful Vizlsa .. His name is Miles and he is 3.5 months old - He is our first and in the past 3.5 months we have discovered why you fall in love with them, and why all the breeders would tell us, make sure you are up for the challenge. We have had mostly German Sheppard's family members in the past, but we are marathon runners and have been looking for a running partner for me mostly, (although my hubby will take him for a few miles as well) and after months of research and the passing of Csonka our 16 year old German Sheppard we brought Miles into our family.
He is finally .. (dare I say) finally showing signs of successful potty training, we are enrolled in puppy elementary class. Of course he was the most energetic and the smartest
My question is do you always use a lead when walking? Our daily routine is to walk 1.5 miles in the am, and another 1.5 in the PM -- when he is on the lead, of course he is easier to control (no pulling) but when we are using just the leash he is uncontrollable, his poor eyes are red and panting so bad from pulling the entire walk. Are Vizsla's always on a lead even as adults? I'm just unsure If I should always be using a lead for our walks or if I should let him "lead" on some of the walks
Any advice is helpful
