vizsla pedigree

[vikings269]

I just obtained an almost 2 yr old intact vizsla whom the previous owner had planned to breed and although some of the behaviors of an intact male at that age are quite undesirable I'd like to know what I have before he gets snipped so if anyone can tell me what I got here I would appreciate it.

Thanks for anyone who can chime in on this breeding as I need advice and feel free to be honest as ya cant hurt my feelings,(its not like i chose the breeding) at worse I got a great dog that would be best off being snipped. At best maybe he is worth keeping intact and I should do what his previous owner planned and breed him. Either way I really like him and can tell he would make me proud in the field already.

If you don't have a clear reason to breed the dog, don't breed. Paper means nothing without proof of the pudding. Especially in this case where there is nothing on the paper either.

I`ll second that.

I agree with Greg. Looking at the pedigree that you posted, I do not see anything that would excite me about this dog. Not saying that he isn't a good dog, I just don't see it in the pedigree. I would just enjoy the dog and maybe look for something else later on. While the paper does not mean everything, it does help show past potential. I have a female V that has a pretty weak pedigree but she is a great dog. She has been spayed since a young dog and has been a great dog for me. She did not loose anything by not being bred. She also has a lot of health reasons that I would not want to continue. I have another V that has a strong pedigree but due to other issues, we have decided not to breed her either. Just because a dog has a strong pedigree with CH and field titles does not mean that it should be bred. Lots of decisions have to be made.

Good luck

Thanks Jeff Thats the information I was looking for. I was leaning towards spaying him anyway as he is about the right age for that. Like I said the previous owner had planned to breed him so I was just a little curious as to what I had before I got him snipped.

I recognize the Morning Sky dogs but that is about it. They are nice dogs with good hunting ability but unless you really want to breed, I don't see any reason to.

It might be a nice dog, but most of the pedigree names are unfamiliar to me, and there's just not enough there to make me jump up and down.
