Wirehaired Vizsla
Loyal. gentle. Yours.
If you know a Wirehaired Vizsla, you already know the look. That scruffy, golden-rust face tilted slightly sideways, eyebrows doing something impossibly expressive, body vibrating with the effort of staying still for three more seconds before launching directly into your chest.

The Wirehaired Vizsla experience
You know you're a Wirehaired Vizsla owner when...
●The velcro effect, you haven't gone to the bathroom alone since the day they came home, and at this point you've just accepted that privacy is a concept from your previous life.
●That scruffy beard dripping water across the kitchen floor in a trail that leads directly to wherever you're standing, like a very wet, very proud breadcrumb situation.
●The 'I can see a bird three miles away' freeze, completely locked, trembling slightly, one paw lifted, looking like a renaissance painting of a dog having a religious experience.
●Explaining to literally everyone that no, it's not a regular Vizsla with a bad hair day, it's a Wirehaired Vizsla, they're a separate breed, yes really, no they don't shed the same way.
●The full-body lean. Not a casual lean. A 'I'm going to redistribute my entire fifty-pound frame against your thigh while you're trying to cook dinner' lean.
