Venus and Finley, two gorgeous Vizslas from the same household, recently stayed with me. Despite the title of this post, they weren't trouble -- just high energy fun.
They each have really distinct personalities:
Finley is the athlete, focused on the ball. He tries to act serious, although he is quite playful.
Venus is more likely to be flirting with and charming the nearest person. She clowns around a lot and does her best to make everyone smile and pet her.
After getting to know Darda, Stella, and other Vizslas in the neighborhood, and now Venus and Finley, I've become a real fan of the breed. They aren't for everyone, of course -- they are high energy dogs originally bred for hunting, and they need LOTS of exercise. They also tend to be sensitive or high-strung if not well socialized from a very early age-- but they are excellent cuddlers, sweet and loving, and are a lot of fun to have around. Whatever breed you might be interested in, it's always a good idea to do your homework before adopting: research breed characteristics, and talk to people who own the same type of dog
