Vizsla

 The origin of the Vizsla, also known as the Hungarian Pointing Hound, has been difficult to determine, but it is certain that its ancestors were the hunting dogs and companion dogs of the nomadic Maier tribe that migrated to Central Europe and settled in what is now Hungary more than 1,000 years ago.

The original 10th century stone etching shows a Maier hunter with a falcon and a Vizsla-like dog. As far back as the 14th century, an early Hungarian manuscript contains a passage about a falcon that depicts a picture of a very similar Vizsla dog. Apparently the Vizsla was popular with nobles and great generals, leading to its accidental but inevitable purification in that period.

Hungary is almost entirely an agro-pastoralist country, growing a large number of cereals; the growing season is long, with hot summers and a relatively mild winter climate due to rain. Wheat, cereals, rye and barley attract grouse and other birds, and hares also flourish in Hungary. Therefore, a hunting dog adapted to local climatic conditions and able to hunt effectively developed naturally. What hunters needed was a dog that was agile, careful and undetected in completely uncovered open spaces, with an excellent sense of smell and a high level of hunting skill, in short, with the good characteristics of both an indicator and retriever dog.

The Vizsla was introduced to the United States in the 1950s and registered by the American Kennel Club in 1960. The Vizsla has a lot of energy and endurance, and is a good companion dog with a gentle temperament. The Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-haired hound with noble looks and posture and an elegant demeanor. It is docile at home and active outside. Strong, well-balanced and lightly paced, it is an excellent companion dog that cannot be beaten.

The head is muscular, the nose is brown nostrils slightly open; ears are thin, silky, ear tips are rounded and drooping near the cheeks; teeth are white and solid; eyes are equal in size, deeply sunken, the surrounding tissue covers the whites of the eyes, eye color should match the fur; lips completely cover both jaws, neither loose nor drooping.

The neck is smooth and muscular, moderately long, arched and without hanging flesh; the back is short; the trunk is strong and well-proportioned; the tail root is just below the level of the rump, the tail root is thick, and the broken tail goes 1/3.

The foot pads are thick and hard; the thighs are well developed and look straight from behind. The coat is short and smooth, dense and inverted.

The color of the Vizsla is a solid golden rust in different shades, with a light stride and a graceful, smooth gait. The Vizsla is lively, gentle and very brave. They are agile and can hunt prey well, have an excellent sense of smell, and have the good characteristics of both an indicator hound and a retriever. The ability to accept training is also relatively high, and can complete the training task well.

He loves sports, but because of his short coat, it is best not to take him out in the sun in the summer, but in cooler weather. It is very disciplined indoors, so you don't have to worry about it doing damage, and it also has a protective instinct and is very loyal to its owner and will guard him.
