We were looking at Vizsla's a few months ago, and then my work situation changed, so has placed this on hold for now. I was given a piece of advice which I didn't find from reading around; it was to get good insurance cover in place, as Vizslas like to cover ground quickly and burn off energy, this has a tendancy to make their collisions with other dogs or inanimate objects quite high impact, which will have an eqully high impact on your wallet or credit card when the vet hands over the bill.
They are wonderful dogs in every regard whether pets or working dogs. I have a friend who hunts with birds of prey (employed as a falconer) he uses his viszla to put the birds up in the air, and retrieve whatever the Gos hawk brings down. It is quite a spectacle to see all three work as a team.
God, having a dog is more difficult than having a child, by the sound of it! So much you have be mindful of, and your presence in the house is needed as much as possible, to be with them. With children, at least they grow up and start taking their own responsibility, but with dogs, they seem to remain infant all their life! I suppose that's one of the attractions for having a dog. I take my hat off to people who adopt dogs; including my own family in India and my son. I don't think I'm cut for it.
Talking of dogs, I had to remove someone's dog sh7t from the path around my house this morning. My neighbour Mr. J. was about to do it, but I offered my voluntary service, to help him out.
Please, always remove your dog's sh7t from public footpaths or anywhere else, when you walk them, guys. I'm sure you all do that, but some don't. It's not fair. It happens quite a bit in our little village; even when dog poo bins are all over the place. Not fair at all.

If only the owners of delinquent cats would be so considerate!

I agree, but cats don't poo shamelessly on an 'in yer face' foot path. They poo in the grass and plant beds. They also hide their hidden business by performing double handling. They'd dig your flower bed, with the hope that the dug out soil would cover their business. Yes, criminal of the cats, and if anyone complains about mine, I'll ensure to remove the inconvenient poo waste f my cat, no prob.
The dog owners that don't collect their dog poo on their walks with them are practising deliberate and blatant crime by leaving their dog poo on public foot paths. Shame on them.

Couldn't agree more And to have a cat owner come on a dog thread and tell dog owners to pick up after their dogs is blatant hypocrisy
Utter myth all cats dig and cover their cr4p. I can't actually let my dogs in my own back garden because of the cats cr4pping out there under the shrubs as my dogs will eat it and it makes them very ill not to mention how disgusting it is. If I could permanently get rid of each and every offender who deposits in my garden I would do.

I didn't mean ALL, I meant- generally. If you have others' cats crapping in your garden, then buy that sensor motion thing to deter them. I hear that they work fabulously. But you see, you can't buy anything like that to deter a dog owner who walks on public foot path, let their dog crap on it and leaves the dog crap for either someone to soil their foot in it or move it for them. That's out of order, and you know that. That's why, it's not really about competing who's more criminal with sh7tting around nonsensically. It's about the dog owner being criminal for not removing their dog sh7t from public display.
If you really want to compare, I admit that cats are more useless than dogs. All they do is catch mice and look cute. Dogs actually protect you and your things. Great. But you admit that dogs are harder work than cats, to look after. That's a truth, not a myth. Cats are more mature than dogs. Cats are more adult in their mind and behaviour than dogs.
An infantile dog p7ssing on a tree, pillar or on your scooby's wheel, with its one leg up, isn't really a pretty site.
As this thread is a dog loving thread, I shall leave it at requesting you guys to shift your dogs' sh7t from public display when they excrete unalarmingly on their walks with you.. That will do.
I love dogs as well (as long as someone else has them, nor me), but not their poo on any public place.
Mind you, son's Staffy's and the dog poo I shifted today are equally diabolical. In dog's poo case, due to its more volume, you have more chance of remaining knocked out for longer. You may even have to call an ambulance to shift you, then.

Thats only for dogs that arent fed properly, when you feed them on proper raw food they hardly poo at all.
Feed an animal crap that it cannot dogest properly it isnt going to be pretty....

I'm telling you again, you should. All dog owners should. What's wrong in asking that?
Ask me any day to move my cat sh7t from your garden, I will. I've even moved some unknown person's dog sh7t today, so it will be even more acceptable for me to move my cats' sh7t from your garden. So no, there's no blatant hypocrisy but your nonsense defence.

Having had many dogs in my family home, and seeing how my son's dog behaves towards him, I can vouch that the loyalty and attachment a dog provides is beyond compare. That's why we say that the dog is a man's (meaning a person's) best friend; much better friend than any other judgemental human can be. It never leaves you until its time to leave the world arrives.
Ps - I'd be wary of taking advice on your specific breed from someone who doesn't understand he difference between "protest" and "stressed"
Apart from the fact I no longer crate her for that reason and have to put up with the consequences.
And all i've done is pass on things i've picked up with having an HPR, if it's ignored that's fine I don't have an issue with that just trying to pass on what might be helpful in the dogs training.
My wife has done a lot of reading on the web/books and does find the advice contradictory on many things
in way, like with bringing up children, you are on a losing wicket from the get go - and to an extent it comes down to minimising the degrees of "wrongness", as perfection is unobtainable
luckily she is sleeping though the night in her cage - no whining
she seemed happy to go in her cage when left for the first time on Sunday (only for two hours though)
we are beginning to encourage sleeping in the crate (door open) during the day - which she seems fine with
she is being heavily socialised as we have quite a busy house, lots of visitors etc - and she is never really left alone atm
but then that brings the problem that she always wants to sleep/curl up on your lap (if she can, lovely but I image will get tiresome)
but I understand they are quite needy/sensitive dogs - which has good and bad connotations I suppose
My mate has a new pup , a golden retriever I think.
He puts it in a cage thingy when they go out and he has a little camera pointing at it so he can periodically check if all is well with the pup. He can view it on his phone.
Its not that dear and picture quality is very good.
He can even talk back through the camera if he wants.
That's useful if hes watching footy at my house as he can switch it on and tell the misses he is on his way home "so put his slippers in the oven"
And to have a cat owner come on a dog thread and tell dog owners to pick up after their dogs is blatant hypocrisy 
- it's sh¡t lol.
