Pit Bull Vizsla Mix
A Pit Bull Vizsla mix is a cross between a Pit Bull and a Vizsla. Most grow into medium-sized dogs of 40–65 lb and live 12–15 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Pit Bull Vizsla Mix get?
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.
Height runs 19–22 inches at the shoulder, against 17–19 in for the Pit Bull and 21–24 in for the Vizsla.
Pit bull is a type, not one AKC breed. Size figures use the American Staffordshire Terrier standard.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Pit Bull rates moderate and the Vizsla very high; a puppy may lean either way.
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.
