    Training a Wirehaired Vizsla To Be a Watch Dog

    A watch dog simply informs their owner to someone coming close to their house. Even though your dog isn't a police dog, most barking dogs will deter an intruder even if they aren't big. Most guard dogs also make wonderful watch dogs, but not all watch dogs make great guard dogs.

The Hungarian Wire-Haired Vizsla is a versatile, natural hunter endowed with an excellent nose and an above average trainability. Although they are lively, gentle mannered, demonstrably affectionate and sensitive, they are also fearless and possessed of a well-developed protective instinct. The breed has a firmness on point, is an excellent retriever, and has the determination to remain on the scent even when swimming. The overall appearance embodies the qualities of a multi-purpose pointing dog, endurance, working ability and an easily satisfied nature.
