Vizsla Dog

Hungarian Hunter

Often mistaken for a Weimaraner, a Rhodesian ridgeback or a redbone coonhound, the vizsla — pronounced “veesh-la” — is one of the most commonly confused dog breeds.

Yet these Hungarian sporting dogs, well known for their finely honed hunting skills, are never mistaken to be anything other than the smart, loyal and generously affectionate companions their families know them to be.

As with any pet, be sure to regularly consult a veterinarian for routine care and medical advice for your four-legged friend.
