Frequently Asked Questions About Adding A Vizsla Puppy

Is the Vizsla the right breed for me?

Vizslas are very active and energetic and require daily exercise. Vizslas also tend to be very needy and want to be with you all the time. These same qualities that make Vizslas so endearing to those who are devoted to them can drive some people crazy. This breed is not right for you if you want a low-key dog who is content to lie down in the back yard and not demand much from you. Vizslas who do not receive sufficient exercise or attention can develop severe separation anxiety and become very destructive. There are creative ways to make sure a Vizsla’s needs are met, even if you work – day care, pet walkers, play groups – but it takes planning and involves a serious commitment.

Especially in homes that are not dog experienced, we generally recommend that the youngest child in the household be four years of age or older before you add a puppy. Adding a vizsla puppy with a toddler is extremely difficult, and the joy of raising and enjoying a vizsla puppy frequently turns into a burden when trying to juggle a toddler and puppy – which is not good for anyone. Vizslas are usually very accepting of newborn humans added to their existing families.  Vizslas raised with cats also usually do well with them.

Should I get a boy or a girl?

There is no simple answer to this question, and it makes more sense to focus on the personality and conformation of each individual puppy, rather than its gender. That said, we are willing to make a few generalizations, noting that there are exceptions to every statement. We think boys are just a bit more devoted and needy; girls are a little bit more self-reliant and independent. Boys tend to be larger (50 to 60 pounds) than girls (40 to 50 pounds). Boys in our experience have been easier to housebreak than girls, but boys can also destroy shrubs and mark in the house if not trained. For a variety of health and development reasons, we feel very strongly that no puppy should be neutered or spayed prior to reaching its maturity (i. e., a female will have had at least one heat; a male will be two years old ).

How do I get on your list for a puppy? 

The process starts with a questionnaire. Your answers will enable us to help you decide if the breed is right for you, and will help us in matching the right puppy to your family. After completion of the questionnaire, we ask that you come meet us and our Vizslas to further determine if the breed is right for you. Families are welcome to visit the puppies as frequently as they want after the puppies reach Four weeks of age. We are always willing to assist you in locating a breeder whether or not we are breeding at the time. To obtain a questionnaire, contact us at Cameovizslas@aol.com.

Do you require me to co-own my  puppy with you? Do I have to show or breed my puppy?

No. We urge you to beware of co-ownerships.  We are disturbed by a trend toward so many breeders insisting upon a co-ownership arrangement for their puppies. Instead of conveying full legal interest in a puppy to a prospective family, some breeders require that they retain an ownership (and control) interest in the puppy. In our opinion, except in certain arrangements between experienced breeders, most co-ownership arrangements provide no benefit to you; they simply give breeders a way to control you and can cause a myriad of legal problems. We personally know two vizsla families that recently ended up in litigation due to problems stemming from co-ownership arrangements. As stated by the American Kennel Club, “It has been our experience that all too frequently, severe and complicated problems result from disputes over conditional sale, conditional stud and co-ownership contracts or any contract or agreement relating to restrictions or limitations people try to place on the sale or breeding of a dog.”  http://www.akc.org/contact/answer_center/faq_resolveconflict.cfm.  

No.  Unless you want to, you do not have to show or breed your puppy, nor do you have to give us litters or  puppies back down the road. We are thrilled to involve newcomers more actively in the  breed - twenty years into vizslas, it is pretty clear to us that we need breed guardians for the future, and nothing makes us happier than to help  mentor,   coach and assist new vizsla devotees who  want to commit their energy to preservation of this wonderful breed. If you want to show and breed, we are thrilled to help you in any way possible! but in our opinion no person or family seeking a companion puppy should ever be coerced into these activities.

 What does it mean if  you give me a limited registration?

 A limited registration means that your vizsla will be registered with the AKC, but no litters produced by your vizsla are eligible for AKC registration. This type of registration is appropriate for companion vizslas who are not going to be shown and bred. It is like an AKC-sanctioned non-breeding agreement, without the problems noted in the preceding section.  A vizsla placed on a limited registration is not eligible to compete in dog shows, but is eligible to be entered in other AKC events (such as hunt tests, field trials, agility, obedience and tracking events).  If we give you a limited registration, we can change that limited to a full registration if the breeder believes such a change is warranted.. http://www.akc.org/reg/limitedreg.cfm
