Pounds. The dark band is where most Pit Bull Vizsla Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Pit bull is a type, not one AKC breed. Size figures use the American Staffordshire Terrier standard.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding
Moderate

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

Energy
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
Moderate to very high

The Pit Bull rates moderate 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 Pit Bull is usually described as confident, smart, good-natured. 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.
