Roytan Harlequin, owner: Allan L Strachan
General
The Vizsla is a medium-sized, short-coated hunting dog, with a distinguished
appearance and bearing, and a docked tail. They are rather lightly built, but
robust. The coat is an attractive golden rust. This is a dog of power and drive
in the field, yet is a tractable and affectionate companion in the home.
Field-conditioned coats, as well as a brawny or sinewy muscular condition, and
honorable scars, indicating a working hunting dog, are never to be penalized.
The qualities that make a "dual dog" are always to be appreciated, not
depreciated.
Characteristics
It has an excellent nose. It is quiet as it holds game at bay. It
works readily even on damp ground. It is a many purpose hunting dog.
Temperament
It is intelligent, docile, quiet but also lively. It is affectionate. It accepts
guidance well. It is obedient but sensitive to bad treatment.
History
It was bred in the 18th century from the ancient
Hungarian Foxhound and the yellow coloured Turkish hunting dog. It appeared in its
present form in the 19th century when it was improved by breeding with more foreign
gundogs.
