im about to purchase a puppy vizsla, and have heard this breed needs lotsa of attention and exercise. the word "alot" has me concerned. i have 2 small children 5 and 8. my wife also works. the puppy will be alone from 8-3 monday -friday, other than me popping in during the day.i have a very large yard for the dog to run and play, and i also run 3 miles daily and i plan to take the dog with me, is that enough exercise? also, as far as love an attention the dog will get plenty, my concern is the 8-3 alone....do you think this will make a good enviornment for this breed as a pet for my family. thanks for you help!

I have just recently purchased a fem vizsla. She is 6 months old this month and everything that you have heard about vizslas is true they are very intelligent and great companion dogs. But they can get very jealous when leaving them for as long as an hour or so. My female (Dakota) is now learning how to climb the fence when she hears us coming up the driveway. so they do love to be loved, that is no lie. the 3 mile run would be awsome for this breed. I suggest doing more research on Vizslas and find out if this is the right dog for your lifestyle
