re: Anyone own a Vizsla here? New Owner questions

The only thing more neurotic than a Vizsla is their breeders. We had several that wanted to "interview" us and one even wanted to do a walkthrough of our house before she would sell us a dog. Ridiculous.

Julie was much more laid back. We went to her house in Livingston after visiting family in TX and played with all the puppies. Each had a different color ribbon as a collar so you could tell which was which. She recommended a female but we ended up choosing a particularly mischievous male. Was that the male we got four weeks later? Who knows?

To your point about communication, she wasn't overly so but we lead super busy lives (four kids) so it wasn't a problem. In fact, we never received the AKC papers and never asked about them. (Her dogs are definitely registered though)

Last, I can't remember who the parents were. But, ours is an awesome dog in many respects and I hope yours is as. Everything Lakefront said is nearly identical to our experience (except the doggie door). Just remember the first year will be tough but hang in there and she will be part of the family in no time.
