Had the opportunity to get one from my friend Dr. John Charos, (Famed celebrity vet of Long Island), about 4 years ago, but just am not home enough to consider dog ownership. (Someone here believes I am not even capable of cat ownership...).

But the Vizsla is a remarkable breed with an amazing story. The Nazis tried to exterminate ALL of them during WWII, and it is believed there were perhaps 50 left in Europe by 1945. They date back to the Magyars (@ 900-1000 years), were bred originally by the Royal Family of Hungary, and their comeback has been carefully managed.. They're considered among the smartest breed; are athletic and tireless workers; fiercely loyal and protective; exceptional with children. And gorgeous on top of everything else..

Coonhounds have fared well over the years at Westminster I believe.. Wasn't there a young one best of group last year?
