Why are Vizslas called velcro dogs?
Vizslas earned the nickname 'velcro dogs' because they are extraordinarily bonded to their owners and hate to be separated from them. They will follow their person from room to room, sleep pressed against them, and become anxious when left alone. This intense bonding is a breed trait, not bad behavior. Their name itself is Hungarian for 'pointer' or 'tracker.'
