"I Read They Were Good With Kids"

On the Vizsla walk last Sunday there was a family that came along on the walk that asked about our Vizslas. They had two small girls, about 3 and 5 and didn't know much about the breed but how beautiful they were.


I thought of how Bailey is going through the "teen" years and how a young family with kids would handle a strong-willed Vizsla like Bailey. Not well. Chloe also should not have gone into a family with small children as she is a bit flighty at times. Other Vizslas could.

This is where the breeder should evaluate each family to each dog. Not an easy task.

Bailey and Chloe were each evaluated by Rita Martinez, CPDT at about 4 weeks old and a write up of the type of dog to expect. She was "right on" about both of their personalities.

Here is a write up by Rita for the "Vizsla News" titled "I read they were good with kids".

Good article to share with those thinking of getting one of these great hunting dogs.
