Wirehaired Vizsla

Post by EddieF » Mon Aug 11, 2008 8:47 am

Bear with me. Every batch of puppy photos I get is more exciting than the last. Shown here at 18 days, these pups really look great. I don't know which is mine, but I'm going to be happy with any one of the females in this bunch!!

No but it's her friend in Illinois. These pups' grandmother is a Vidor dog.

These don't. Some do, some don't. They're not yet recognized here in the U.S. so there isn't a standard for tails. The ones that are docked that I've seen seem to be about twice the length of a GSP tail. Kind of inbetween.

I've always liked the sporting breeds for pure aesthetics. My last dog was a German Shorthair. I have a friend who has a Spinone I just love, his face is awesome but he doesn't have that athletic physique of a pointer. I thought about a GWP - the beard and eyebrows just seem to convey so much personality in their face, but I needed to get a little farther away from my last GSP. My wife found this breed and showed it to me, and the more I read the more I liked. I fish a lot and spend a lot of time around the river, and they love water. They're a little more hardy in cold weather than the smooth Vizslas, and I believe they're a little bigger all around than the smoothcoats.

So, that was sort of a rambling reply, but I guess a lot of things brought me to this breed. The similarity to a Spinone I like a lot, the dissimilarity to my GSP, the love of water, the looks, the temperament.
