Proof That Hungarian Vizslas Are Good With Children

This is all the proof you need to see that the Hungarian Vizsla breed are good with children and especially babies. Even when somebody in the video says, "Most people would be freaking out," obviously in reference to the Vizsla licking the face and body of the baby. But surely mom & dad know their dog quite well and felt completely comfortable allowing this to happen.

Another video I watched showed a toddler pulling out the bed underneath a Vizsla puppy. Even when he could not get his bed back not only did the dog not mind but he also kept coming back and licking (kissing) the child, no jumping, growling or anger at all. This is very good evidence that your children will be safe around Vizsla dogs and that they are good members to add to your family.

Hungarian Vizslas Loved by Sportsmen

Jeff Paulus of rural Superior, Michigan has been hunting with Germanic wirehair dogs since nineteen eighty six.

"I think that the wirehair is built for pheasants," Paulus stated. "I think that's where they really, really shine. For a pointing dog, they just really want the birds. They're a high-desire dog that loves birds."

Mr. Paulus is a fanatical trainer of his wirehairs. He commands them to hold a point, and he knows how to interpret a dog on point.

"If they've got the bird pinned, I can tell," he states. "It's just the intensity of the dog. If the dog is looking at me, I know the bird has moved off."

"On wounded game, they're amazing," Paulus said. "They're bred to track. There's not a pointing breed that's going to be better [at retrieving]. That's the reason I have 'em."

"If you're not putting your time in with the pointing breeds, you're going to have problems in the field," he said. "I've been on trips like that."

"People say, 'What's the difference between a Lab and a wirehair?' " Paulus said. "I tell 'em, if you want a Jeep, get a Labrador. If you want a Ferrari, get a wirehair."

Duluth's Kurt Radke purchased his 1st Vizsla 4 years ago because other dogs gave allergy problems to family members. Hungarian Vizslas, a wirehaired pointer, are famed for being hypo-allergenic.

"Phenomenal," Radke said. "Seven months old, her first day in the field, she bumped the first rooster. On the second bird, 15 feet away, she locked up. She proceeded to point three in a row in 10 minutes."

"What I enjoy about the dog is just the grace," Radke said. "They move with a kind of elegance."

"I'm not a purist. If the bird breaks and runs, I expect to get the creeping point," Radke said.

Hungarian Vizslas Are Versatile Dogs

Hungarian Vizslas prove they are quite a versatile dog! On top of being a great family dog that is good around children, an excellent hunting dog or 'pointer' dog, a dog who loves water and swimming, they are also dogs that love to climb trees. Check out this great video of a Hungarian Vizsla that just gallops right up this tree with ease. And notice how the other dog doesn't dare venture up where he does not feel comfortable.

We are not saying all Hungarian Vizslas will be tree climbers but there are stories out there of them darting right up trees after squirrels and other animals. This tree climbing video only proves that the Vizsla dog breed is really a great, amusing and even helpful animal to have around.
