Gun Dog Forum

I had Labs for 20 years or so and now have a Vizsla. The shedding was the biggest reason i switched, my dogs live in the house. My vizsla does shed a little- it's just short outer hairs (they have no undercoat) The biggest adjustment was energy level-going from 10 + year old chocolate lab to Vizsla ...

Congrats! Nice looking dog

Thanks for the welcome-I'm new to pointing dogs, ran labs for years before this, never had one get cut by fence before this though-just lucky i guess

How do most of you handle teaching your dog about barb wire fences? The farm I hunt on has a few and last weekend my 8 mo old Vizsla cut her leg on one-do you teach them to avoid, or what? Thanks
