He is UK bred, though by a French Sire. He seems to look bigger in pics than he does in 'real life' though he's growing like a weed currently!

I don't leave the puppy unattended full stop! However the word 'no' can get quite repetitive so looking to avoid temptation as best I can 😉

Any ideas anyone? I currently have a large (real) Christmas Tree sitting outside of the office door and a 10 week old puppy in the house. I've seen 'Christmas Tree protector' fencing on Amazon but it looks rather flimsy. Does anyone have any good solutions to the new puppy/Christmas tree combo?

I think he could make my fortune 🤣

I haven't researched the breed development but they definitely have some foxhound characteristics. The lady who bred him works and shows them. We plan to train him - we'll see how he goes, and take it from there, I've promised I will show him as his breeder thinks he has a lot of potential, so...

He is a Bracco Italiano, he's the first Bracco we have owned. They are an Italian Gundog breed. After we lost our Vizsla we debated our next dog. I would love another Vizsla but our old boy was so perfect I didn't want a puppy that we would constantly compare to him. Sticking to the HPR theme I...

I'm another who wouldn't use Pramox on a foal , I also now don't use it on anything if mine. I've seen too many severe side effects,.particularly in native ponies. I don't want to scaremonger as many people do use it repeatedly with no ill effects whatsoever. It just comes down to personal choice.

Thanks everyone! He's just adorable...most of the time 😂

We are 10 days into puppy ownership and so far all is well 😁 He's very opinionated and I have a feeling he may be more difficult to train than our old Vizsla but it's early days and he's so fabulous, we are all well and truly smitten!

Agreed.

I'm not sure about working him - it depends how he takes to it, we will definitely be training him. I've also faithfully promised the breeder we will show him as she rates him very highly. So that will be unknown territory for me, I'm hoping it's less taxing than showing horses in hand!! The...

Not another Vizsla ...yet! Though I do want another our Vizsla was such a fabulous dog I was worried I would compare a Vizsla pup to him and it would always come up short. Our new boy is a Bracco Italiano, a breed I've admired for years. All being well we will look for a Vizsla in a few years...

It's 12 years since we last had a puppy but having lost our beloved Vizsla last month we are,once again, about to be bring a new puppy home. Are there any new or innovative Puppy products that we may not be aware of that you have found useful? Or for any recent puppy owners was there a product...

Definitely do-able without an arena. A girl local to us events her own horses and takes breakers and re-schools with no arena. She hacks and rides in a field where her other horses are grazing. We sent one to be broken and she came back absolutely perfect.

Some valid points made but not in the most amenable manner. As an aside I've noted that previously Leah3horses has stated she is a Veterinary Nurse rather than a Veterinary Surgeon.
