Vizsla Breeds Like Other Dogs

Does your Vizsla breed dog do the darnedest things? At Dog Central, presented by Pedigree they attempt to explain why.

For instance is your pet like many others that loves to dance around, spin in circles before he finds a spot to pee, chase his tail or burrow his head and face in the blankets? Then you (and your dog) are not alone. Many people want to know the answers to these silly questions. And most of them are pretty simple.

For burrowing their face in the blankets it may just be for the same reason we fluff our blankets and want them tucked around us just right before we go to sleep - for comfort. Terriers, hounds and huskies are the most likely to want their beds just so.

As far as wandering around and circling before they pee, it could be that they are checking the terrain for predators before they relax and relieve themselves and also to check out who was there before them with their keen sense of smell.

As far as them chasing their tail? Experts can only come up with, "because it's there" or the fact that they have an itch, which makes more sense. Plus it provides them, and you, with some entertainment.

Vizsla Breed Fits In Anywhere

The White House news corps added some new faces this weekend. They don't talk much, but when they do bark and whine, even the most jaded newsman listens and grins.

The new addition is Henry the dog, and in the last twenty-four hours, he has added to the journalist's work space with his presence.

Henry is a nine-year-old Hungarian vizsla. Henry's owner is the White House Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino. Henry was there for the am off-camera meeting, known as a "gaggle."

These reporters might be used to covering the dog-eat-dog world of White House politics, but when it comes to actual canines like Henry, they press can't help but eat it up.

Henry goes to show that the vizsla breed can go anywhere.
