Vizsla Rescue Groups Find Homes for Displaced Dogs

Vizsla rescue groups are volunteer organizations that help foster and place animals who have no homes. In many cases, rescue organizations are simply groups of volunteers that foster Vizsla dogs in their homes.

With breeds like Vizslas, it's common for owners to rush into getting a puppy without properly researching the breed. The Vizsla likes to run and play and needs a large yard with a fence for adequate exercise.

Owners who rush into the Vizsla breed often realize too late that the dog is far too active or large for their needs. This is where the rescue groups come in. They take unwanted dogs from shelters or from owners and try to find them forever homes.

Rescue groups field calls from those interested in adopting and screen them for their suitability. Adopting from a rescue group will help give a displaced purebred dog a loving home.

Attack on Vizsla Dogs Creates Debate on Breed Bans

The owners of Vizsla dogs everywhere were saddened to learn of the vicious attack by two large dogs on a six-month-old Vizsla puppy in Greenwich, Connecticut. The Vizsla, a female named Coco, is now on life support after the nearly fatal attack.

Coco's owner, Elizabeth Hutchins, was walking her on a golf course when a St. Bernard and a pit bull jumped a fence and began severely attacking the young dog while she lay there in fear. Hutchins tried to intervene, but the St. Bernard bit her hand when she did.

"The St. Bernard had Coco by the neck and the pit bull was going for her chest," said Mrs. Hutchins. "I realized she was dying. I was screaming at the top of my lungs but no one was around so I called 911."

The heartbreaking attack has city residents calling for a ban on certain breeds. Pit bulls are already banned in major cities like Denver, that cite stats indicating the breed is responsible for a high number of mortal attacks on humans.

Making Sure You're Ready for a Vizsla Dog

If you're thinking about getting a Vizsla dog, you need to consider the decision carefully. Remember that adopting or buying a Vizsla is a 10-15 year commitment that should not be taken lightly.

Vizslas are highly active and intelligent dogs that require a large amount of physical exercise and intellectual stimulation. You should be prepared to spend most of your free time with your Vizsla.

Also remember that training is crucial with new dogs, particularly Vizslas. Make sure you are ready to devote the time, effort, and money required to put your Vizsla in training and obedience classes.

Finally, ask yourself if you have the space for a Vizsla. These dogs need room to run, so a house with a large, fenced backyard is ideal for a Vizsla.

Signs of Qualified Vizsla Breeders

Vizslas are expensive animals, so it's important that you not trust just any breeder if you plan on buying one. Read on to learn how to identify qualified Vizsla breeders.

First, good breeders will have both of the parents available on-site. Looking at the health, condition, temperament, and appearance of the parents will give you an idea of what your potential dog will look like.

Second, quality breeders will always volunteer references that can vouch for them. Ask for a list of at least three references of current Vizsla owners and ask about the breeder's integrity and the quality of his/her dogs.

Finally, your breeder should offer you a written health guarantee. In other words, the document should specify in writing that the breeder promises the dog is in good health and will either take back the dog and/or refund your money should certain health problems arise.
