Coat, energy and training

Shedding

High

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

Very high

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Very high

The Labrador Retriever rates very high and the Vizsla very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Low

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

The Labrador Retriever is usually described as friendly, active, outgoing. The Vizsla as affectionate, gentle, energetic. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
