Best Vizsla book for the serious fancier

Well worth the price when you consider the volumes of information given by Coffman. Compared to other books which are vague on the breed and give only common sense care tips, this book is above and beyond. Every Vizsla lover needs this book.

A dog for empty nesters as well

When the kids were grown and gone, with kids of their own, I felt I needed a dog to bring back some activity into the house. I bought this book after investigating a number of internet sites and narrowing my choices to vizslas and a couple of other breeds. This book sold me on the vizsla, as well as on searching the vizsla rescue sites for the perfect dog. Not only is the dog a great companion, he's smart, quickly trainable, great with kids and lovable to a fault. His curiosity knows no bounds and often results in comical situations.Get this book and then get a vizsla. His gratitude will overwhelm you.

MUST read for potential owners those investigating the breed

This was the 1st book, people within the breed suggested that I buy. The author has an excellent knowledge of the breed. If you are looking of a companion (pet) or a potential competitive dog (obedience, agility, show or field) read this book. There are lots of pictures so you can see different types (looks) that exist in the breed. This book helped me a lot an I referr to it all the time.

A complete look at owning a vizsla from puppy to old age.

This book provides a thorough understanding of the vizsla's personality as well as information on responsible ownership.

Absolutely enlightening . . .

This book will without doubt bring you into a greater appreciation of your Vizsla. A dog is much more than just an animal we use as a pet. The dog, if allowed to be a part of your life, can be the check point of daily refreshment. C.M.C
