Chapter 14 - The Vizsla in the Shooting Field

As we have seen, a Vizsla is capable of doing many different types of work. He can be used for all purposes of shooting, stalking and falconry. The ideal however, where he is seen at his best and is most productive, is as a bag-filler is as a rough shooter’s companion, where hunting hard for game and pointing it staunchly is the order of the day. One must be prepared to give up time and energy to his training and have suitable ground for him to work over.
