Congratulations, Natalie! That's really something to be proud of!

I saw a Vizsla working in the field for the first time this weekend - it
was a sight to behold.

If I ever, ever wondered whether the versatile upland breeds were for me, I
have my answer:

No way, no *way* could I live with that much energy bottled up in a dog in
my house. I shall admire them from afar.

Congratulations again,

Once you're in, you're hooked

I can't imagine not having that much energy flying around - and its
catching
I'm a million times fitter, happier and healthier since Cindy came home. I'm
also a lot greyer, mind

Big congratulations to Natalie. I keep dreaming of a long hair weim or a
vizsla as a second dog, but that would be way, way too much for me given our
present circumstances. Maybe if those lottery numbers come in and I can
afford a larger house with a secure garden...

That's great! Ramses the Vizsla would cheer you on, too, but
he's busy playing with Shakira, the exploding diahrea Rodesian
Ridgeback.

I'me really liking this Vizsla, are they all so pleasant (albeit
needy)?

Yes, and yes. Nice, needy, and necessary to provide exercise. They don't
exercise themselves. But wonderfully soft dogs. No off switch for
exercise! I desperately wanted one when he was younger.

Do you have an LJ account? If so, you can write responses to his journal.
Mr. Natalie has anon responses turned off.

OH! They do enjoy agility, but they tend to shut down after about a half
hour. Their brains just decide, ok, no more learning for me now. And
they make stupid mistakes. I have some articles about Vs and agility if
you're truly interested in having one. Buoy can go for about 40 minutes
before he starts to shut down, and that's it for the day, pretty much. I
am working Buoy in agility right now, and he adores it. He just makes
stupid mistakes after 40 minutes, so we just keep the lessons to a half
hour. Let me know if you want to mail me privately about it.

Okay, no offense at all intended, but are you working him a solid 40
minutes in agility? That's a long time as far as I'm concerned. I very
rarely work more than 10 minutes or so. I think the longest I have ever
gone is maybe a half hour, and that's with lots of play in there.

When I was working weaves, I'd go to the building, do 1 or 2 reps, and
leave. Right now we're without a regular training building and have 2
hours on Tuesday nights. I'm done, including waiting for a turn on
equipment, within 15 or 20 minutes. A few direction commands, some
contact work, jump chute, weaves. Done.

I have found, especially for agility, that very SHORT training periods
at a high intensity is far better than longer training periods. Agility
is so strenuous both mentally and physically that you can wear a dog out
pretty darn fast.
