The dark yellow figure moves swiftly and effortlessly across the plain, its nose into the wind. Suddenly the dog whips into point and holds fast, his rust-gold silhouette shimmering in the late afternoon sun. Alert and motionless, he waits tensely for permission to retrieve. In the Hungarian language, the word 'Vizsla' means 'alert and responsive'. This ancient cinnamon-coloured hunting dog, however, is much more than its simple name suggests. Also known as the Golden Pointer, the Hungarian Vizsla is coveted world wide as both a hunting dog and loving family pet. Shooting enthusiasts praise the breed as an ideal sporting dog that can perform on all levels in the field. A close-ranging dog, he can air scent as well as ground scent, making him superbly efficient on furred animals as well as game birds. The multi-purpose Vizsla is pointer, spaniel and retriever, a veritable hunting machine who snaps into point and holds fast until ordered to flush, then waits obediently until commanded to retrieve.
