Sorry, Excercise Induced Collapse. In mild forms it can sometimes mimic seizures. It can progress to cardiac arrest and death after light to moderate excercise and definitely after heavy excercise. It is common in labs and a few other breeds. I am not saying that this is what your dog has but I woul...

Might also have him tested for EIC. Sometimes it can mimic a seizure. Other than that, see what the vet says.

We had the same problem with our Vizsla. We switched to Native level 3 and it worked for us. You might give it a try. Satin Balls are something else I have heard work.

What about Epilepsy in the imported lines? I know for a while it was an issue but have they reduced the number of occurances? It's something we were thinking about for the next vizsla. Right now we have an American Bred that is right in the middle of the standard and absolutely loves water so we are...

Double coated breeds will "Blow Coat" 2-4 times a year usually. It's more than just the normal shedding. It is basically a total replacement of the undercoat. Think Furminator commercial 2-4 times a year. This year my Shiba's blew coat more than normal. No wonder we went with a vizsla this time. :D ...

I would say yes to all of the above except ball-a-holic. Now if you would have said bird-a-holic...
He does bark at noises when at the house but on the road is very quiet.

We were out walking Dyson and Morgan (Vizsla and Belgian Malinois) and a guy came up and asked if they were a pitbull puppy and Coyote we were walking. Yeah sure. I always go and take my coyote out for a walk in the middle of downtown!

The guy in the wheelchair was probably Ryan and his black lab Kanya. Really nice family and an amazing dog (that does like to creep). They have quite a few dogs that are amazing and talented in other sports also. Goes to show that even with a disability, you can still particiapte in life. We also ha...

Congrats! I know how you feel. Our Vizsla , Dyson, loves to jump at home but will not jump in competition (he fell off as a young pup and now has a confidence issue with that dock). Did you happen to talk to Sue Barnes with Tanner (GSP). She is really good at helping new dogs. She even has Lucky (GS...

I'll ask my husband if he is interested in any. If you need a place to stop, we live just outside Leavenworth toward Atchison (20-30min from Cabela's). Feel free to stop by.

We also have one on Dyson through embrace pet insurance. As he eats everything known to mankind, I figured we would have at least one emergency surgery. We pay $23.00 and you pick and choose what you want covered. It would take me years of paying $23.00 a month to come up with just one emergency sur...

We used Wellness fish and potato on Elvis for his allergies before going raw (he was still having issues). He has been better on raw but continues to have issues since he is allergic to everything. We recently switched Dyson to Native level 3 (has no known food issues) because we were having a weigh...

If you decide on a Vizsla, also try http://www.buschvizslas.com. Lot of knowledge and great dogs. They are also looking for foster family for about two years while the family is out of the country. It might be a good trial run to see if you like the breed.

That's funny, I almost said pointer/JRT mix also( with the broad triangular head and muzzle). It will interesting to see how he grows.

Also with sudden onset aggression a trip to the vet for a thyroid check may be in order. Our lab mix did the same thing (but not tied out) and ends up to be a thyroid condition. On synthroid a nice happy go lucky dog like he used to be without it for more than two days totally unhappy snarley dog. I...

We have the Cabela's neoprene and it has worked well for us. Definitely needed it in Iowa at -18. With a little triming it fits great for a Vizsla.

17' IS a great jump. Record is 28'10". I will be lucky when mine decides to go into the water at a competition. (at home jumps like a big dog.).

Might try Cindy at http://www.ganderhilllabs.com. She's in Skiatook (sp) OK and may be able to help. She doesn't have any litters right now but she may know someone. They do show but also hunt and test with their labs. All of the ones I have met thorugh Dockdogs have great temperments.

Also use the Native (level 3 and 4 depending on condition) ...$26.00 for a 40 lb bag picked up at the store.

Salt water can add to the problem. I would add an oatmeal conditioning shampoo when washing them down and maybe a little salmon oil to their diet. Mine are shedding too right now. We changed to the Native level 3 and are loving it.

Carla

1vizsla

Stick with what your feeding if they are doing well. Science diet except for the prescription forms are not the end all be all of dog foods. If your are happy with your food and can afford it, stick with it (especially since he gave you a nice comment on their condition).

Carla

Did the vet do anything else besides a stool check or a serial collection of stool as some parasites are cyclical? I would give a dose drontal just in case. From the pictures she is skinny and probably needs a higher protein /fat ratio. We also add missing link to our rescues that need weight gain a...

1vizsla

We've used missing link for years and really like it. We have also used Nupro which makes a gravy and the dogs really like that one. Generally we are only supplementing the rescues and the hunting dogs during physically stressing periods. Works really well and you'll notice a difference in a few wee...

We had the same problem and we switched to Native Level 3. The change is dramatic.

I would definitely recomend this food to anyone whose do...

$300.00 difference is typical for Vizsla's. We picked the one that picked us too. We sat on the floor and waited and watched. I am certainly not disappointed in our selection. I definitely agree with pick the bloodline and breeder first , then the rest shouldn't matter.

1vizsla

Try www.handicappedpets.com . They have all sorts of braces.

Carla

1vizsla

We've had quite a few scratches (none serious though) and always before a conformation show (yes, we do that too). We keep them clean and eventually got Dyson a vest so it got scraped and not him. He is finally getting smarter and not going though them as often.

Carla

1vizsla

You might want to try the Furminator shampoo as it helps loosen the undercoat. No need to try the brush but if you are having problems then maybe add that too. Other than that just keep brushing.

Actually I am a conservative republican. What I meant by generalizing is that the original poster states the PETA agenda of no animal ownership and groups anyone who cares about animal welfare within that same agenda and it is not so. There are puppymills and there is animal abuse and some of us wou...

1vizsla

Please refrain from generalizing everyone that cares about animals into the same category as PETA with their agenda. Hate to tell you but puppymill's do exist and animals are abused, it's reality. I know, I own one and I work rescue and by the way we do hunt, eat mea and own animals. It seems you ha...

Also, Dr's reply was to a tick bite that was irritated/red. The concern here is the bull's eye rash not just a tick bite. Won't hurt to have it checked out (except your pocket book ).

Carla

1vizsla

Most likely it will be for reimbursement for care and travel. I can't think of anything else.

Carla

1vizsla

Also, if you check with the parent breed club (of whichever breed you own)and a member, you would be violating the Code of Ethics that most but not all have in their membership requirements. I know ours has it (Vizsla, Shiba Inu).

Carla

1vizsla

Send it back if it has an imperfection, they don't mind, and it's warranteed. Also I would call them and tell them what the bell issue is and maybe they have an alternative for you. They made a whole differet leash for me, so I don't think they will mind at all.

Carla

I've seen it this young (especially in labs) that we've taken in rescue. Definitely the surgery can (but not always) provide for an almost normal life when done as ealy as possible ( we have some jumping in Dock Dogs). However, $10,000 is way more than we've ever paid for HD. I think the most was $4...

They even made my club some british style slip leads for our Dock Dogs since they get wet often. Nice people to work with.

Carla

All I can say is to try to redirect the behavior when you notice it with something like a sit command or shake or something like that. Also, sometimes working with the dog on a command like "Watch me" will work. Do not use the flashlight as it will only reinforce the behavior. We get a lot of dogs i...

That's funny.

So what are you going to do for payback? Do they have kids?

Well, I was 50/50 on the westminister prediction. Minnie took breed for Vizsla :D (Konner didn't enter) but a hairy dog didn't win the whole enchilada. I like Uno but was kind of hoping for the Akita. I just love her markings. Anything besides a poodle was ok with me but if it had to be a poodle, I ...

My family has always grown up with dogs and kids/babies. Never any problems but we were never left alone with the dogs either. Dogs always slept in the bed but still knew they were dogs so I don't believe in the "dogs in the bed think they have higher ranking" thing. They do what you teach them. The...

1vizsla

I also can only reply as a buyer but our breeder does the same thing a Brenda mentioned earlier. At any time they will take back a dog but it is not required if you are attached (and who wouldn't be) and supply another. It's for the life of the dog not just 24 months. So far, no complaints and would...

1vizsla

Can't wait to see it, especially the sporting group. I imagine Konner will win BOB Vizsla if Minnie is not there. Dyson always loses BOB to him at our local shows but Minnie usually beats Konner. But I am guessing the winner of the whole enchilada will have lots of hair.

Carla

1vizsla

Oh gosh, where to start...the couch, the bed mattress, shoes, socks, underwear,conforters, pillows, you name it Dyson has eaten it. We joke that if you come to my house bring your own chair.
