Looking to get a Viszla so looking for advice. Very forward planning, not looking for right now but later in the year, maybe
next year. ..!
We are looking for a KC reg bitch, who is from a strong working line as she will be worked and I would love to do FT with her but also want to do some showing also. Is there a breeder in particular that covers both? If not the working side is more important as I can't imagine I would win Crufts with a dog bred for it anyway so would like a useful dog at the end of the day.
Secondly, what are they like on a day to day basis, are they easy to train? Are they born workers. My brothers lab knew what she was doing before he started official training..!
I am good at training but would like to know what they are like beforehand. How much exercise do they need realistically? I am spoilt with my lurcher, she can do as much or as little as I like but aware that working dogs need lots of exercise, are we talking one hour or several? 30 mins of high speed fetch or an hour of walking...?
Anything else I need to know beforehand? Hoping to go to Crufts to get an idea of what a good dog looks like. Although I picked my mums winning Dachshund as a puppy so reckon I have a lucky streak...!
