GSP, Weimeraner, Vizla owners...

Anyone else want to weigh in?

My vizsla is a great pet. We don't have any issues with shedding. She's an energetic dog full of personality. At 50lbs she's a big lapdog. She will get on your lap and go to sleep. Loves people.

There are times I wish she would chill out but she does relax and sleep at your feet. She gets in her bed most nights about 8:00...on her own. I fully expect her to star talking some day.

My best friend has a Vizsla. If she doesn't get A LOT of exercise, she's hell on wheels. Probably the same with any of the dogs you are asking about. A daily walk won't cut it.

Also, she is very affectionate and likes to one with the family.

I know it's not one of the 3 breeds you listed, but our blue lacy sheds less than any dog I've ever had. I was set on a vizsla, but I'm very happy with the lacy. Great hunting buddy and a great family pet too.

Had Weims all my life. Best breed in the world hands down.

Don't let anyone tell you that they do not shed as they will shed when it warms up.

Had a Weim that weighed 140. He was a house dog that loved attention and family love. Great dogs that learn discipline quick. Even though he was a bigger dog, his shedding wasnt bad. I agree that it was a little more during summer but I attributed that to his weight. He wasnt fat. He was the biggest male of the litter so a medium heavy weim I think would be great. I know hunting isnt a key factor, BUT he was an awesome retriever!!!

I had purebred Great Dane male that weighed 140. He could walk up an lay his head on a kitchen counter (never did) or over the couch when he walked up behind it. He was massive. That was one big Weimaraner.

From what I have been researching, the Vizsla will shed the least.

Probably going to offend sone people here but ive only met one good weim out of a bunch. Something just isn't right with that breed. Inbred I think. The other two have crazy energy and the only viszla ive been around had bad seperation anxiety which is common from what ive been told.

Does anyone know of a good breeder for Vizslas or GSPs?

[Bowhnter01]

my gsp sheds like none other. but i love her anyway.

[stinkbelly]

Is it that the entire breed sheds or just some of them? I have two DDs and one sheds like crazy and the other doesnt thed at all.

If you aren't going to hunt it, I wouldn't get a hunting dog. They have too much energy to be held back.

Brian/oneforthewall on here breeds Vizslas.
They are great dogs! Lots of personality and want to be with you all the time. Lots if energy though for sure mine did settle down a little after the puppy phase, so if you go that route be patient it will pass. Trigger has been excellent with out 5 month old, Anabelle. Any questions and you can pm me.

We own a gsp and wiem and I've been around a few vizzla's.

gsp is easily my favorite, but I'm partial because she is the best hunting dog, most athletic, most versatile and a great family friendly dog. Loves everything outdoors, very good with people and other dogs. Does shed and needs to be exercised on a regular basis.

The wiem is a great dog as well, athletic but less out-going, very personal - almost human like, would go crazy if he had to stay outdoors, truly loves his masters, hardly sheds. High maintenance - he needs special food and supplements(sensitive stomach), goes to the vet often, can be a brat at times. Requires less excercize then gsp.

The vizzla's I have known are very athletic and great house/family pets. They seem to be a little harder to train then the gsp.
