AKC Vizsla puppies are energetic, active and intelligent as well as being attractive with distinctive features. If you are drawn to these characteristics and have the time and energy for this breed, you may enjoy bringing one of these puppies to your household.
The ancestors of the Vizsla breed were hunters for the Magyar tribe that settled in the area that is now Hungary. These fine dogs are featured in etchings that go back to the 10th century and were esteemed by early barons. Since they are sporting dogs, they require a great deal of exercise and activity. They are very affectionate and make excellent companions to an individual or family. Due to their high intelligence, they respond to training and need discipline in order to thrive.
Given their temperament and qualities, AKC Vizsla puppies require training and socialization very early in life to provide the discipline that will keep their high energy in check. These puppies will sometimes turn to destructive behaviors if not mentally and physically challenged. They need to have focused training and learning along with plenty of physical exercise.
Start looking for areas such as parks where you can take your puppy as it grows. Schedule an hour a day, in 30 minute intervals if preferred, to let your puppy run unleashed. A smaller fenced-in yard is not sufficient room for it to run. You need to use caution with over-exercising young puppies because of the possibility of damaging the growth plates in their legs. However, as they get a little older, they are ready to run.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) can help you find the ideal puppy, and has resources to assist in your search for ethical and responsible Vizsla puppy breeders. It is vitally important that you purchase your pup through a reputable breeder that guarantees genetics and has already conditioned the puppy for socialization.
If your household is the right combination of very active and very disciplined, it could be the right home for one of the energetic and smart AKC Vizsla puppies.
