The Vizsla was bred originally in Hungary where they were favored by the upper classes who wanted a companion animal with excellent hunting instincts. Vizslas are equally at home in many kinds of terrain including both on water and land. This kind of versatility makes the Vizsla one of the world’s most smartest dog breeds. Very few other dogs can match this smooth coated dog in their ability to adapt to their surroundings and respond as well to new challenges of all kinds. They are happy to dive into bodies of water and then spend time hunting in the field a short time later.
