The Hungarian Vizsla is loyal, athletic, and breathtakingly beautiful. They're also velcro dogs in the truest sense — not just a dog that tolerates your presence, but a dog physiologically oriented toward it. They will follow you everywhere. They will poke you with their nose when they want attention. They will be fully, earnestly committed to you at every moment of the day. Whether that sounds like heaven or exhausting depends entirely on who you are.
