Vizsla
Hungarian, and russet all over including the nose, which no other breed requires. It is called a velcro dog for good reason: it follows people room to room.
Overview
The Vizsla is a Hungarian versatile gundog that points and retrieves, and it is one of the oldest pointing breeds, appearing in Hungarian records from the middle ages. It came close to extinction after the Second World War and was rebuilt from a small number of dogs.
It is a lean athletic russet dog with no undercoat, which means it feels the cold and it also means very little shedding.
Temperament
Affectionate, sensitive and famously clingy, which is why the breed is nicknamed the velcro dog. Vizslas want physical contact and they follow their people from room to room.
They are highly sensitive and harsh handling damages them rather than correcting them. They are also extremely prone to separation anxiety, more so than almost any breed, and a Vizsla left alone for long days is a genuine welfare problem rather than an inconvenience.
Care and grooming
A short smooth coat, a weekly rub down, minimal shedding. Very easy.
Hip dysplasia, epilepsy and hypothyroidism occur, and a breed specific inflammatory condition called Vizsla inflammatory polymyopathy has been identified. Cancer rates are notable. Twelve to fourteen years.
Living and exercise
Two hours a day minimum of hard exercise plus mental work.
The separation anxiety is the thing to plan around before buying. They suit a household where someone is usually home and an active one at that, and they are a poor fit for anyone out ten hours a day.
