Do Vizslas Get Cold

Do vizslas get cold? At our kennel, in Montana, where we sell vizslas, we get this question a lot. Vizslas don’t have a dual coat like labs and many other dogs do. This makes them less tolerable to the cold. When we first fell in love with vizslas that was my biggest concern the last thing I wanted to do was to be out chasing chukar and have a dog with a sweater and shoes on. After owning vizslas, yes they need a warm place when they aren’t active whether that’s inside your house or an insulated kennel with heat. But when you’re enjoying the outdoors they will be with you every step of the way. We have hunted our vizslas in snow, rain, and cold and have never experienced too many issues. There are things to watch for on cold days. Like the tips of their ears, male parts, and if the females had puppies her tits will be the first things to show signs of cold damage. So overall we believe that vizslas are very tolerable to the cold if you take precautions.
