| Vizsla
 The
Vizsla originated in Hungary as the favoriate hunting dogs of the
Magyar tribes in the eighth century. As such, it has a very long
history as a sporting breed, the smallest of the versatile
pointing-retrieving breeds bred not only for hunting but as a family
companion and household dog. The
Vizsla is not content to be placed in a kennel and needs attention
and human interaction along with frequent exercise and stimulation.
The Vizsla is a robust, but compact dog with a beautiful
rust-colored coat. It's small size led to its description as the
poacher's dog. When only nobility was allowed the privilege to
hunt on the great estates, the Vizsla allowed a poacher to grab his
dog, stuff him in the game pouch and elude the gamekeeper.
