Before running out and getting a Vizsla, here are some points to go over before making that decision. Vizslas need a good amount of exercise that requires a lot of walking and running and not just for a block or two. Future owners should be ready to give this to them. Vizsla are affectionate companions and get close to the owner that they may even become their shadow. If one desires this kind of closeness, then the Vizsla is just perfect.
