This is a good book for someone who wants to learn more about the breed! It may seem to be small, but it's packed with information-a great value for the price. If you want to learn more about training your dog, then you may want to purchase another book for more specifics.

Exellent book to start with when you are trying to make up your mind about the breed. Short and to the point. Although definetely not an "owner's bible".

This book was pretty good for general information. If I was going to buy just one book, however I would buy Versatile Vizsla by Marion Coffman. It is very detailed and full of good information. It does cost a little more but it is well worth it. This book is also good for general info if you dont have the money to spend on Versatile Vizsla.

This book is a very accurate, helpful tool for anyone getting or looking at getting a vizsla. Talks about the history of the breed, personality, training and care. We give it to all our new puppy owners.

This is a well conceived and well written book. It is concise but contains more than ample expert information and opinion on raising and owning this breed of dog. I have compared it with other "dog-advice" works and recommend it highly.

This book provides a basic overview of the Vizsla. It offers helpful tips on training that can be applied to any dog. If you are looking for a book that really gets into the actual breed, you may be disappointed with this book.

There is a lot of information in this book. Some of it appears to be outdated, but what can you expect from a bargain priced book with a publish date of 1998. I was surprised to find that the book's stance on "shock" collars was "These devises are generally not required for training Vizslas if proper obedience commands are taught at an early age; however, for the unruly student or one that is slow to respond to obedience or field training, electronic devices may be useful." I can't imagine using a shock collar on a family pet for any reason. Most reputable trainers will stress the importance of positive reinforcement and not negative/punishment.

That said there is tons of info in here and for the price it is a great start for someone interested in the breed.

A great starter booklet for dog lovers wanting to know more about the Vizsla breed.

Our Vizsla is now 12 weeks old and this book has helped us emensely. He is obedient, friendly, loves his crate, does not have seperation anxiety and is almost house-broken! This book is our Vizsla bible.

Great book. Fast shipment.
