Characteristics and Temperament Vizslas are very friendly, affectionate, loyal dogs that make wonderful family pets and hunting dogs. They need to be treated like a member of the family, preferring to sleep inside and being close to their people. They should be active, but not hyper. They require daily exercise and will get into mischief if bored.
Vizslas are very easy to train, being both intelligent and eager to please.
Vizslas love warmth and are frequently found basking in the sun. Vizslas are outstanding hunters and will both point and retrieve. They have very sensitive noses, good eyesight and a natural enthusiasm for the hunt. It's fantastic to watch a Vizsla lock up on point - it's hard to find words to express their grace, beauty and intensity. Field trials are a large part of most Vizsla club's activity schedules.
