Sleep
We love Hungarian Vizslas! We originally developed the snuggle dreamer for this special breed of dog. As a breed of dog with little undercoat, they freeze quickly and therefore need a particularly warm place to sleep. They are also very sensitive animals that need peace and security every now and then when everyday life becomes particularly loud and stressful. But there is so much more to Vizslas than that, which is why we would like to introduce you to this great breed.
Vizslas - also known as Hungarian Pointers - are a medium-sized breed that typically stand around 54 to 64 centimeters high at the shoulder. They have a long, straight back, an almost horizontal profile and a well-muscled chest. Their ears are long, flat, and hang on the sides of their head. Their fur is short and smooth, usually a shimmering red-gold that can vary from breadcrumb yellow to dark gold and copper. Their noses are usually reddish and match the fur.
Within this dog breed, a distinction is made between the short-haired Hungarian pointer and the wire-haired Hungarian pointer.
The Short-haired Hungarian Pointer has a short, smooth and close-fitting coat and an angular and athletic appearance, while the Wire-haired Hungarian Pointer has a 2 to 3 cm long and wiry coat.
The Magyar Vizsla is an ancient breed of dog that was originally bred in Hungary. The Hungarian race is believed to have originated more than a thousand years ago. In Hungary they were originally bred as hunting dogs or pointers - Magyar Vizslas are therefore also known as Hungarian pointers. They are one of the oldest Hungarian hunting dog breeds and are known for their ability to detect and track game without chasing it. The breed belongs to FCI Group 7 – Pointing Dogs – of the “Fédération Cynologique Internationale”. The FCI is an international association of cynological organizations dedicated to the preservation of dog breeding and dog sports.
• Vizslas are very energetic hunting dogs and require a lot of exercise and exercise. You should get up to three hours of vigorous exercise daily, such as walking, running, swimming, etc.
• They are very intelligent and therefore need regular exercise to keep their minds stimulated and not get bored.
• They are very social and require a lot of attention and affection. They should spend a lot of time with their owner so that they feel comfortable.
• They are extremely curious and tend to hunt and climb. Therefore, they should be kept on a leash in unfamiliar terrain or in the city so that they do not accidentally endanger themselves.
• You are extremely sensitive and feel comfortable in a calm, stress-free environment. They should not be kept in a noisy environment where they cannot retreat.
• Early training for rest and relaxation is crucial due to the breed's energetic nature. Ideal: a safe, comfortable retreat to promote important periods of rest. This means the animal remains balanced even in quiet situations.
When training Magyar Vizslas, the first thing to remember is what is important when training all dogs:
• Set clear rules and boundaries: An important basis for successful parenting is a clear structure and clear rules. This will help the dog settle in more quickly and understand what you expect from him.
• Consistency: In order for your dog to learn what is allowed and what is not, you as a dog owner must be consistent. Because if you give in even once, your dog won't change his behavior.
• Rewards: The reward to be used may vary depending on the dog. Some dogs prefer treats, while others respond better to affection or their favorite toy. In any case, a reward can be very helpful in showing your dog that he has done something right. Just try out what he prefers!
• Patience: Patience is probably the most important part of training dogs. Sometimes it just takes longer than expected for your dog to learn certain things. Don't give up too quickly and give your loved one the time to learn at their own pace.
• Contact with other dogs: It is very important that your dog always gets to know new dogs and comes into contact with them. Because, like us humans, he can only learn social behavior when he is together.
