Gun dogs of the pointer kind are a handful... wouldn't get one younger than 5yo TBH... 9months is the worst time possible.. a child at heart but the size of an adult!
We had a Viszla and it did seem to run on a battery pack supplied by Tesla... impossible to get tired, so much for dogs sleeping most of the day!
Feel for you... don't feel bad if you need to rehome...
He's got some very redeeming qualities. In fact, endless stamina aside, I think he is smashing. Just means I'm going to have to get used to early nights/early mornings as we seem to be settling into two 3 mile walks a day plus a quick lunchtime walk. It's fortunate we both full time work from home, otherwise this would be impossible. Also means I'm probably only going to manage one or two bike rides each week, instead of the three or four I've been slotting in.
We were both adamant that we'd give a home to a dog in need of one, rather than buy a puppy due to misgivings about many breeders motives.
Hadn't heard of a Viszla .. had to look that one
up. They have some interesting character traits:
The Vizsla wants to be close to its owner as much as possible, and it is commonly observed that vizslas insist on sleeping under the covers in their owner's bed at night.
