Originating in Hungary, the Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-coated hunting dog that combines characteristics of both pointer and retriever. An attractive golden rust in color, this “dual” dog is popular in both the field and the show ring due to his power and drive while hunting and his trainability in the home. Vizslas are lively, gentle mannered, demonstrably affectionate and sensitive. The Vizsla is a member of the AKC Sporting Group.
