Thread: Bones

Tweet

My kids are at our house this week (spring break in Washington - my daughter is a teacher there) and they brought their Vizsla (Ruby) with. Ditto to all that Roger has said. Vizslas are wonderful, loving dogs - great with the small grandchildren and very affectionate. I've never heard Ruby bark. They do not like to be out in the cold (unless she's running after something) as they have very short, close cropped hair. Ruby has a blanket in her kennel and she curls up in it after being outside.

The hesitancy to bark is a well known trait, but it may be more prevalent in females than males. I know that Bones has quite a voice, as he displayed it last night when he saw his reflection in one of the windows out onto the back deck and thought we were being attacked by an angry Vizsla!! Every bark seemed to bring an identical bark from the invader!! Of course I was falling down laughing at him, and trying to get him to understand it was OK!! Pretty quickly I turned off the light, the "invaders" (one at each window, you know...) left, and the castle was safe.
