This is our second Vizsla, 1st one recently died. We absolutly loved him and aside from chewing all of our garden hoses up for a couple of summers he got along great with our old dog and cats. We don't hunt, just wanted a good pet. We have lots of room for him to run.
We just got a 16 week old vizsla about a week ago. The 1st nite Virgil slept all the way home on my lap and was kinda scared so he slept in the bathroom and I checked on him alot, he only cried a few times. Second day he was playful. Third day he got vet checked and some shots. That evening he lunged at our cats when they were close to a toy. He has also growled at the old dog a couple of times, not playfully on two different days. I am not sure what to do to correct this behavior before it gets out of hand. I have put up a kennel for him to stay in for now, but really want him to be able to mingle with the other pets safely. Do I just make sure no one bothers him and his toys and food for a while or do I try to make everyone get along.
