Hello All,
I am new to this forum, and have come seeking advice. I understand that this is a Vizsla site, but I assume that many of you have had experience with other breeds. My family is looking to heal our hearts after having put down our Yorkie "Penny" after 14 years of love. We would love to add a Weimaraner to our family, but want to make sure the breed will be a good match in our home, as I don't believe in abandoning dogs.
With that said, we are torn between the Weimaraner and the Vizsla. My family consists of my wife and three boys ages 7, 5, and 3. My children are excellent with dogs, having lived their entire life with "Penny". I had been told that while Weims are good family dogs, Vizsla's are better suited for family life.
Could you please shed some light on if you'd suggest a Weim or Vizsla knowing the family we have. Excercise and being active would not be a problem for our dog. Also our dog would be a true member of the family. Living in doors, and full access to the house.
Thanks in advance!
