  • Richard Wong of Minnesota takes us through a personal journey with his 13-year-old Vizsla and the impact that has had on their lives.
    "In a season with so many unknowns and very few expectations, Hunter delivered an inspiring and humbling performance. We could all stand to gain from his perspective. You could say… he used less, but gave so much more."

    Anyone who owns a Vizsla knows the bond they have with their families. They are much more than just dogs. They are family.

      It is amazing how an animal so utterly obnoxious can also be so utterly lovable. 😄

    We lost our vizsla a few years ago. She was the best dog, incredibly smart. Hunted well, stubborn as hell and absolutely gorgeous. I’m not kidding she was tall, muscular, athletic and she got attention everywhere she went and acted accordingly lol she was a queen. She never laid a single second on the ground in the house. Couch only. I really loved that dog. Thanks for the video. This got me good 😢

    I've had Vizsla's for 31 years, or perhaps I should say they've had me. When I think about some of the best moments of my life a lot of them were comprised of working behind a rust colored dog over a rise of golden grass with the sun setting behind our backs. It's hard to give up on a Vizsla when they get ill as they are part of the family. I'm glad you and Hunter are seeing this to the end.

    You have a beautiful boy there. Our vizsla sadly didn't make it past 10--she had haemolytic anaemia (her white blood cells were trying to kill of her red blood cells) on top of juvenile thyroid failure and platelet issues. After two years on Prednisone, her body couldn't take it any more. She was a great field dog--we never hunted her because we lived in the suburbs, but she had all the right instincts and was a great companion in the woods. She ranged out about 30 yards and would circle back all the time, pointing out birds and other critters. Smart as a whip, too. They really are great dogs.

    Wow simply stunning .I was in bits by the end.We had a V ,Purdy, who had an eye removed at 8 after cancer was diagnosed.I assumed she was simply going to become a pet and was going to be retired from hunting.She knew better and we had two more seasons of shooting together and our final hunt turned out to be after pigeons .She loved it .Such special memories.

    Thank you for sharing this story. I lost my Brittany of 14 years in 2010. It took some time but we now have a beautiful Vizsla who will be 2 in May. They are amazing dogs. Plays with the older goldadore, and the cats, and the kids, and is rarely out of sight of me. We’ve been training and hope to find some Texas quail this fall.

  • @2fahncahns
    @2fahncahns Год назад

    What a grand old man, a touching story made me tear up a few times, took me back a decade to having to put my first Vizsla down at 6 years old due to an aggressive Sarcoma she was in too much pain & going blind 1 month was all it took, she went full on active to partly blind & no energy.... 10 years to the day our family got our second puppy now 2yr old an amazing dog & the best thing for our family. I jokingly tell my kids a Vizsla is like having a 4 legged land Dolphin come to live with you... They are a very special animal. One minute a hard core hunting dog, next a trail shredding mountain bike buddy, a 4X4 companion then back home to dispense unconditional unlimited love or helping your daughter through an anxiety attack... they will do anything to please the family that chose them! They are very special to those that understand them & love them... Hunter I hope you are still going Buddy!!!

    he reminds me of of my vizsla gunny i had him for a great 14 years of my life but sadly he hurt his leg on day to the point of where he could hardly even use the bathroom and sadly had to put him to rest because i just couldnt watch him like that it was heartbreaking. ill forever miss him he was such a great friend and hunting companion. unless youve owned a vizsla you cant really understand how special of a breed they are. they can be a handful at times but its worth it if you have the time to give them. ill have another one day but idk if ill ever be able to replace gunny.

    Our first Vizsla was Hunter. We had to let him go 6 months ago.
    Can't bring myself to clean the nose prints off the windshield of my truck.
    I miss him everyday
    We've got a new pupp now, a wire haired Vizsla named Rowan. She's just as birds as Hunter was.
    They are amazing dogs.
    Season opens in 2 weeks.
    The first bird she points gets a pass in honor of my boy Hunter.😢
