Fine looking dog there, torn between rough or smooth coated one myself, prefer docked one though :rolleyes:

my brother hopes to have a litter in a couple of weeks
all goin well,they should be good pups

Vizzy

tfox,when I got him at 8 weeks he wasn't docked and I wasn't too sure what to do with him but after a bit of advice from a couple of lads here I decided that if he didn't "need to be docked" then I'd leave him alone and to be honest I think he looks fine.He's never goin to be "shown" anyway.
But each to their own

They'll track deer but I doubt a female would be able to hold one. I've had people (a certain "type" of person) ask me was mine a Ridgeback and would I trade it....
Definitely not my friend.
They're a great dog with a fantastic temperament and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Agree 100%.
As I said in a previous thread,I brought my lad for a walk down town to get him used to people and was asked on 2 occasions if he was a ridgeback and would I sell him( would have been paid in lengths of carpet and 5 bar gates tho).
As regards temperment I have a Golden Retriever as well and I thought that he was affectionate until I got the Vizsla.They are not called the "velcro dog" for nothing.

The are a real strong dog but not as big as a Weimeraner or German Pointer and they will go all day.( I currently run my fellow beside me when I go mountainbiking and I'll be beat a long time before he gives up).

He's not old enough yet to know if he will be good to hunt but he is showin all the signs.

i thought myself he look an awful like a Ridgeback


left a vizsla, right ridgeback looks a great deal alike:)

Your're mad to turn him into a Ridgeback,this is the second time you have said that:):)

By the way is your fella still putting all us amateur trainers to shame ?

I'm trying to use your training methods for the Vizsla(albeit about 6 months behind you).Teaching him to retrieve with the piece of string on the dummy etc

Viz it's just jealously LoL I think the dog looks great but then if you paint the dog grey it would look like a weimaraner:eek: LOL maybe they all descend from one another in some way but do look at abit alike.

I havent had him at as much as I want, I had him in Doneda forest park the other week for a walk,flushed a few cocks. I thought he was going to have brain anarism with all the ducks on the pond they had:p most of been 150+ and not inculding chicks, I had him sit on the bank at a "stay" command while all the ducks where flighting in and out, he look like he was having a fit with all the shaking he did:D

Hopefully we get out together when your dog is ready, love to see it work!!!!
