My male Vizsla is turning 7 years old! He's very active! I take him hiking, running, or mountain biking 5-6 days a week. He chases birds for hours in our large, fenced backyard. They are called "velcro" dogs for a reason. He's always at our feet looking for attention or to play fetch. He's super loving even around young children and friendly with strangers. The first few months are rough. Be prepared!
