A truly wonderful breed of dog...Jax is going to provide you guys with so much joy 😁 I'm 4 years in with my first Vizsla and to say every day is an adventure is an understatement. So loyal, so energetic, so loving and so damn goofy! Puppy stage was complete insanity, but man the patience pays off. My advice to anybody thinking of a vizsla...EXERCISE!!! Also be prepared to be stopped constantly by other vizsla owners and people asking what breed it is 😆
Agreed! Jax has been such a source of joy for us. So great to hear that even 4 years in the adventures never stop. They truly are the sweetest, most attentive and challenging (in a good way!) dogs. Couldn’t agree more that exercise is the most important part of a happy vizsla (and owner). It can look different for everyone, but finding what works for you and your pup keeps everyone happy. And yup, everyone always thinks he’s a ridgeback 🤣
I’m amazed by this. Me and my partner just got a vizsla under two months ago and I can’t imagine the stress of going through it in an apartment. What was your experience with crate training? The thought of him waking up the neighbours even whilst living in a house caused us the most stress. Shoutout from Australia btw ✌️
A puppy is a lot of work but we also got Jax during Covid when both of us were around all the time. Crate training was tough for the first couple of days but he quickly caught on and eventually went into the crate by himself every night when he was tired. It became his safe spot.
Nice first vlog bro! Definitely keep it up. The more videos you make, the better you become. Gonna sub because I'm looking for more Bay Area vloggers rn haha. Cheers bro
Amazing! So excited for you! Thanks for watching and glad you liked it. We’re doing a moving vlog soon and have learned a lot about dog anxiety when moving to a new home. Lmk if there’s anything I can help answer 😀
Hello neighbor! (In San Jose, CA) I love this! My bf and I are hoping to get our Vizsla in about a year from now - currently on a wait list, and this gets me so excited :) I look forward to your future content!
Monique! I'm so excited for you both! They are the best breed! So loving and beautiful. Let me know if we can help in any way. You can dm us on IG @jaxson_thevizsla. We can connect you with someone if your wait list doesn't work out.
I'm getting a Vizsla and staying in an apartment so I'm interested to see your videos with your vizsla and how he is in there. It's a great help to get tips of what to do in this situation, thanks
Awesome! Glad these videos provide some helpful information for you :) check out my most recent vlog to learn about how we wfh with a Vizsla! ua-cam.com/video/8CDYC8JIUVA/v-deo.html
Did the breeder have any concerns about selling to someone who lives in a small appartment? I’ve been trying desperately to get a vizsla but here in The Netherlands it is so hard to find someone who is willing to sell a puppy to us. They all think our appartment (similiar to yours) is too small or are concerned about the fact that we don’t hunt 😣 its super frustrating! Having a spacious house with a garden is not an excuse to go outside less. Your vizsla seems perfectly happy!
Sorry for the late response! We did not, luckily. I think lifestyle is more important than apartment size. If you’re personal lifestyle includes a lot of outdoor activity then your vizsla won’t care how small your apartment is imo. Jax is always sleeping when he’s home because he’s usually out running around when he’s awake!
@@JaxsonJordan I totally agree but unfortunately many breeders here don’t even want to put me on the waitinglist because of this 😣 I almost started to doubt myself and question if it is selfish of me. Your video gives me confidence tho, we’ll keep trying. Thank you so much!
I live in an apartment in London , I’d really like a Vizsla but am wary as I don’t have a garden . I do have access to green spaces close by . Advice ?
Hi! Thanks for the question. We’re in a similar situation. As long as you can take your Vizsla out twice a day (morning and afternoon) for a good run in an outdoor space (off leash) you’ll be fine. Jax sleeps all day when he’s at home 😀
Thanks for your video, just about to buy a vizsler in the next few weeks and I live in an apartment. Just curious how many hours a day is Jax in the apartment ? Thanks
Jax is in the apartment most of the day. He goes out for big runs twice a day for about 1.5-2 hrs each session. During these sessions he’s off leash. When he’s home he’s sleeping and happy 😊
I call the low ears, Dobby ears. My boy Lucky does the same thing. Vizslas are amazing dogs. My Lucky is 12. I'm hoping to get another in the next year.
Hi there, Vizsla owner here! 😁 I was wondering if your pup ever had separation anxiety? We’re trying to work through it with ours right now and it’s been tough. Just wondering if you had any advice, thanks! :)
Hey Sunny! Jax had separation anxiety most when we first got him (around 10 weeks old). We crate trained him for about a week straight and that did wonders. But that first week of crate training can be painful. Lots of barking and crying and we felt horrible! Sometimes after we let him out he would shy away from us. You just have to be persistent/more stubborn than your pup. ha! Now we can leave him in his crate at home and leave for a couple of hours and he wont bark at all. He'll just go to bed :) The separation anxiety still exists to some extent but its pretty minimal now. lmk what other questions you have and maybe I can help answer them!
@@JaxsonJordan thank you so much for the advice!!! We’re trying so hard with crate training and he still has a difficult time settling and being away from us. He’s 13 weeks and he’s definitely giving us a run for our money haha. Constant screaming and crying the second we leave him alone. We’ll continue to push through and hopefully it gets better from here on out. Thank you so so much for the quick response! :)
@@sunnylopez3760 yeah it’s tough. The main thing we learned was to not reward his barking/crying. We only let Jax out of the crate when he was quiet for at least 3-5 min. The first week we also fed him in his crate and gave him treats in there so that he had a positive association with that space. It was really effective.
Quick tip I did when I had a Vizsla pup, leave the room or house, wait a few seconds then walk back in while ignoring the pup then wait a few seconds and walk back out. Do this ten times in a row. Then repeat but wait ten seconds to walk back in and leave. Repeat the cycle but double your wait times for every set of ten. Your pup will soon learn that you will always come back for them and think it's a fun game you're playing. Your neighbors may think you're crazy walking in and out of your place a hundred times though ;)
You should always consult with a vet you trust! That being said our friend who has a lot of experience with vizslas carries hers up the stairs until they’re too heavy. You will want them to experience and be able to navigate stairs, even as a pup, once you determine what that looks like for you.
I love how perfectly you pronounce vizsla! It is rear to hear from non-Hungarians. 🙂
Greetings from Hungary!
Haha! Thanks for the comment and compliment 😊 hello from SF!!

Oh also our apartment units were super quiet. Concrete structure with really great insulation so we never heard our neighbors and they never heard us!
Nice first vlog bro! Definitely keep it up. The more videos you make, the better you become. Gonna sub because I'm looking for more Bay Area vloggers rn haha. Cheers bro
Aye thanks for the support! Welcome to the Bay Area!
Just found your vlogs, we’re expecting a vizsla this summer and live in Laurel Village! Love your perspective

Yes! That’s the perfect description 🤣 Keep us posted on getting a buddy for Lucky! We’d love to have a friend for Jax someday too!

@@promogul haha I love this! Great advice thank you
hey nice vlog
Thanks David!
I definitely don't think your apartment is too small for a Vizsla - what he needs is good, long walks and looks like you provide it plenty.
Yes! We enjoy the walks almost as much as he does 😎
Have you taken Jax to Fort Funston?
Yes! Great place. I just took him there this morning 😊
Im thinking to get a dog but I have no elevator in my building. I live on the 3rd floor, worried about hip dysplasia. What do I do ?
You should always consult with a vet you trust! That being said our friend who has a lot of experience with vizslas carries hers up the stairs until they’re too heavy. You will want them to experience and be able to navigate stairs, even as a pup, once you determine what that looks like for you.
Can you give me contact of where you bought your puppy from?
Hey Yonas! Here’s her Instagram:
