Looking to get a puppy next year and were originally going to go with a Labrador again (my 11 year old passed last year) but after seeing 2 Vizslas on the school run, I am quite tempted by them. I had a quick chat with their owner (I know her as she was a teacher in my kids play group a year ago), very similar temperament, exercise, diet, health issues etc to a Labrador so I know what I would be getting into.

I have done a bit of reading up on them and they seem to love cuddles, have crazy zoomies, love other dogs and generally a great family member. They also would welcome an additional dog to the family so getting another Labrador isn't out of the question. I also have read they are a bit scared of thunder and loud noises like that, so I will obviously, from an early age, like I did with my other Labs, get them tuned into these things so it won't affect them later in life. My louis (RIP) loved fireworks, as a gun dog should really haha.

If you have one, what are you experiences with them. For what its, worth I have 3 kids (7,4 and 2), and 2 cats. So yeah, fire away. Pics needed of course.
 
Thats a shame. Fortunately, I have lots of time as I am the stay at home dad :D plenty of time to train, socialise. I think I will check to see if any breeders have anything coming up.
 
Thanks. Fully prepared for active dog. My lab was crazy active up till his last few weeks, still gave my mates whippet a good run for its money at 11 years old. I have just been checking current or upcoming litters, damn, Vizslas are far more expensive than labs now. Looking at £1500+, where as a litter of Labs I have just read about, with FTCW parents and grandparents and great grandparents are up for £700. family tree fully viewable, Which makes me think, working gundog breeders tend to price far cheaper than a run of the mill breeder down the road. I got my last 2 labs from the same breeder 12 and 13 years ago for £250 each.

My sister has a 16week old pup and he's a dear little thing but I'd definitely watch our if you get one around your 2 year old. They have damn sharp teeth and like to bite most things when young (like most puppies I guess!)

can't be any sharper than my two cats set of fangs.... and murder mittens.
 
Well, it sort of happened, going to see a litter of Labrador puppies tomorrow. Not Vizslas as my op questioned about. Funny how things turn around.
It also comes to my attention, my Louis (rip) grandad is the Great great grandad of this litter. Craighorn Bracken. Who would have thunk it.

no doubt a new thread will appear with pictures obviously.
