The relo's have one! Puts his paws up on my shoulders and licks my face to say hello before promptly using my arm as a rag doll...
Better than using your leg as a blow up doll
Bahaha Billy!!!
your in fine form mate!
Hey Firey, you would know about them being affectionately known as the "Velcro Dog" then. They tend to stick to their owners like glue. Always wanting to be touching them somewhere. If you are sitting watching the teev, they want to have their head on your lap at best, a paw on your foot at worst. Most owners tell you that they often crawl under the blanket at the foot of the bed and you wake up in the morning with a hungarian Vizsla with it's head on the pillow and under the covers right next to you. Apparently, they just like being part of things. No matter what you are doing. Ours of course will not be sleeping in our bed. Sure, the odd invite on top of the covers when we feel like it, (ie-just after bath time) but on our terms, not the puppy's terms.
Tatyana and I spent a long time researching what breed to get, then once we determined we wanted a Vizsla, we then had a damn good look at nearly every Victorian and several NSW and QLD bloodlines and then we went and spent some time with as many of those dogs as we could. We went to every dog show and agility meeting where there were likely to be Vizslas and we then spent some time working out which lines we liked the look of and which temperaments we liked the most. Then we researched the hip scores and feedback from owners of those lines. Eventually we narrowed it down to three, possibly four breeders and lines.
We then got lucky, with one of the breeders taking a liking to us and putting us in contact with a girl who had a bitch we liked and who had put one of their dogs over her. It happened to be the dog we liked the most out of all the dogs we had got to know. This one had a very calm temperament, as well as very handsome face and body features. A strong, muscular but lithe look with a perhaps too square face for a Vizzsla. But, as we are not intending to breed or show it, we are not fussed if the features are not as close to standard as some others. We really liked the way he looked. A bit like a gold coloured Pointer.
Anyway, Oskar is only two weeks old, so we have another 6 weeks to wait till he arrives home with us. It's gunna be a long 6 weeks.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?
