The Vizsla is an ancient Hungarian breed of dog. It is thought to be one of the oldest sporting breeds in existence.

The reason the Vizsla breed has survived so long is that they are such a versatile dog. While they excel at hunting and tracking, they are also a natural in the ring. Above all, they are very lovable and make excellent house pets.

A medium sized dog, Vizslas are rust-colored and short-coated. They are commonly described as "demonstrably affectionate," tend to be quite rambunctious and playful, and need much attention.
