Voila...the Vizsla!

Vizslas are our new favorite dog of the month. We first spotted the vizslas in London getting on a bus near Hyde park and from that moment we were in love. Their giant ears, slender bodies, interesting colored coat, and their attentive and playful nature make for one fantastic breed! The Viszla is great for lots of people. They're easy to train and stay clean. Some say they are cat like because they stay so clean and scent free. Being a hound (a hunting dog), this dog has a prey drive and one fantastic nose so owners need to make sure to fulfill this breeds need for exercise.

Vizslas are part of the hunting group and actually originated in Hungary. They have extremely short hair and weigh between 40 and 66 lbs.

Here are some fun videos:
