Vizsla


The Vizsla (VEESH-la) is a medium-sized hunting dog. The strong body is slightly longer than it is tall. Keen and trainable to a high degree, they need mental stimulation daily. Without extensive daily exercise they may be too energetic and excitable for very young toddlers, but are excellent for energetic kids. They have many talents such as: tracking, retrieving, pointing, watchdog and competitive obedience. The Vizsla is a hunting dog and may be good with cats they are raised with, but should not be trusted with animals such as hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. Vizslas also tend to chew, so make sure they have something to chew on other than your furniture. They are very athletic, and when lacking in exercise they may become destructive or neurotic. This breed is not for everyone. If you want a calm dog and are not willing to walk a couple of miles or jog at least one mile a day, do not choose a Vizsla. Without proper exercise, they can easily become high-strung.

Papillon


The Papillon is sometimes called the butterfly dog, because the ears look like butterfly wings. It is a friendly, intelligent dog that is tougher than it looks, and loves outdoor exercise. Affectionate, gentle, patient, and proud, they love to cuddle. They are steady, obedient and are not yappers. Although, they can be good city dogs, they are sometimes not good apartment dogs, because the dog has a strong instinct to protect their property, and many will bark excessively at nearby noises, not making the distinction between casual noises and those worthy of a real alarm. They can also be difficult to housebreak, but are in general easy to train otherwise. If you allow this dog to become pack leader to humans, it may become very possessive of its owner and resent outsiders. When a dog believes he is pack leader to humans, it is called Small Dog Syndrome, human induced behaviors, where the dog is allowed to believe he owns the house. This can cause a varying degree of behavior problems such as, but not limited to, being, nervous, high-strung, timid, separation anxiety, guarding, growling, snapping, biting, obsessive barking, dog aggression and being untrustworthy with children. Keep this in mind with any and all dogs. They always need someone they can look up to for guidance as a firm leader.
