I saw an ad on craigslist saying " FREE AKC VISZLA" 3 year old purebred Viszla, not fixed and needs shots. Very loved must rehome, good with kids and other dogs. So I e mailed them asking why they were just giving himaway like that, along with a TON of other questions about him and his history. Well a man wrote me back telling me that this was his adult daughters dog and she got him as a puppy 3 years ago. Well she moved away and got her own place with the dog 2 years ago and also got a new job that has her working VERY long hours and she is hardly ever home, her dad tells me that she's been complaining about this dog because she leaves him in a crate while she's gone and sometimes he poops and pees in his crate while she's gone. Well heres the kicker, she has been leaving him in this crate for days at a time and only feeding him tiny amounts of food every other day if he is lucky.
She said she doesn't like feeding him when she is going to be gone a long time because then he will potty inthe crate and she doesn't want to clean it up.
But she is gone more than she's home often staying gone a full 24 - 42 hours at a time, leaving this poor very active dog in a small crate with no food or water to lay in its own urine and feces because he can't hold it that long and this dog IS potty trained!!! He will go to the everytime he needs out!!! So the dad has been very upset with his daughter about how she's treating him and pushing her to find him a new home, he has been at her for months and finally she agreed, so he put him on craigslist for her because she still wanted to keep him and I saw the add and after hearing all of this I felt I had to help him. So now he is with me and my family! [

I have never owned a Viszla before but have had many other breeds and know a lot about dogs in general, I have also been doing a TON of research on this breed and have learned a lot about Viszlas. He is absolutly sweet! He loves my other dogs and my children, he sits, lays, and shakes on command, and always goes to the door when he needs to go out to potty. He is very skinny and I know this breed is suppost to be slender but he is under wieght so we are working on that. I also have an appiontment to get him neutered and all his vaccinations done next week. I am just so sad and frustrated that some people do things like this to helpless animals. I know this was long so thanks for reading it! Also ~ Here is a picture of him, his name is Ty.
