My GF and I are going to get a puppy (Xmas gift to each other). We talked about getting a Vizsla and I just got these pictures from a breeder.

Cute, huh?

Beautiful Pups there!! Are you planning on using them for hunting or companionship?

He'd be a companion animal. I am throwing around the idea of doing some Search & Rescue training though...

Who's the pervert with his thumb up the puppy's arse? Get it out, get it out now! Dude, that isn't cool.

Do yourself a favor and read Culture Clash before you buy the dog. Trust me on this one, buying a dog before reading a book on training is like getting behind the wheel of a car before learning how to drive: you W I L L regret it.

Not a problem, dude

We are both experienced dog owners and plan to do obedience training.

Thank you. We are also considering going to the pound. It seems silly paying $1000 for a dog when you can get a great one for free, but getting a puppy from the pound who hasn't been abused is tough. I have the pedigree of this puppy and he is VERY well bred.

Getting one from the pound may be a good idea - not only will you save money, but also a life. However, from personal experience, i have determined that buying a dog that was bred for temperament is always a good idea, which is why i'll shell out $750 when i finally decide to buy that Labrador Retriever i've always wanted.
