Vizsla Versus Weimaraner: Introduction

Are you thinking of getting a new pet dog, and you have narrowed down your choices to the Vizsla and the Weimaraner? Well, you have come to the right place. Because in this article, we will provide you with a detailed comparison of these two dog breeds to help you decide which of the Vizsla and the Weimaraner better suits you.

We will provide you a detailed discussion and comparison of dog attributes such as intelligence, price, general health, friendliness, etc, for both the Vizsla and the Weimaraner.

Furthermore, we will let you know which one of the Vizsla and the Weimaraner is better suited for new dog owners, for owners with kids, for owners that live in apartments, for owners with dog allergies, etc.

Importantly, we did some analysis and calculation and we obtained a number that we call the Better-Pet Score™ for both the Vizsla and for the Weimaraner. The dog breed with the higher Better-Pet score is the `better` pet. We hope that these Better-Pet Scores will provide you with more insight into deciding which pet to get between the Vizsla and the Weimaraner.

Our only goal here is to help you make a well-thought-out decision on your next long-term companion, be it the Vizsla or the Weimaraner.

Vizsla versus Weimaraner

Vizsla versus Weimaraner: Overview

A very important difference between the Vizsla and the Weimaraner is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Vizsla is a medium-sized dog while the Weimaraner is a large-sized dog.

Furthermore, both the Vizsla and the Weimaraner are Sporting Dogs. This means both the Vizsla and the Weimaraner were bred to help hunters catch and retrieve feathered game. Some sporting dog breeds such as Retrievers, which were built for swimming, were bred to hunt waterfowl in water. Whereas sporting dog breeds like setters, spaniels, and pointing breeds were bred to hunt quail, pheasant, and other game birds nest on grasslands. Many Sporting Group breeds have thick, water-repellent coats that protect them from harsh hunting conditions.

Vizsla versus Weimaraner: Comparison Table

The table below compares the Vizsla to the Weimaraner based on different important factors such as Price, Health, Kid-friendliness, etc.

When a dog breed scores higher for a factor than the other dog breed, the box of the breed that scores higher is shaded green and the box of the breed that scores lower is shaded red. When there is no difference between the breeds for a particular factor then the box is shaded gray for both pets. Also, when the factor is not important in picking a pet, or when the factor cannot be compared between two pets, the box for the factor is shaded gray for both pets

Most of the factors in the table for each dog breed are ranked on a scale of 1 to 5. “1” means “worst”, and “5” means “best”.

However, some factors such as “Price”, “Average Lifespan”, etc. cannot be on a scale of 1 to 5, so they are not on a scale of 1 to 5 in the comparison table.

Later in this article, we will further explain each factor as it applies to the Vizsla and the Weimaraner

    Next, we added the scores of the factors that can be added together for the Vizsla in the table (that is, `Ease of Grooming` score + `General Health` score + `Calmness` score + …etc) and we compared it to the corresponding total score for the Weimaraner. We call these total scores the Better-Pet Scores, as we mentioned earlier. We called this score the Better-Pet score because the better dog breed will have a higher score. This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.

    The Better-Pet score for the Vizsla is 79 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Weimaraner is 67 out of 125.

    Based on their Better-Pet scores, the Vizsla is a better pet than the Weimaraner. So, you should get the Vizsla!

    Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Vizsla and the Weimaraner so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.

    Temperament of the Weimaraner Versus the Vizsla

    The Vizsla has a better temperament than the Weimaraner.

    This is because the temperament score for the Vizsla is 85.2 percent while the temperament score for the Weimaraner is 80.8 percent, according to the American Temperament Test Society (ATTS).

    The American Temperament Test Society (ATTS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide fair and objective evaluations of the temperaments of dog breeds.

    Dog breeds with low temperament scores tend to show unprovoked aggression, they easily panic without quickly recovering from the panic, and they tend to avoid people. However, dog breeds with high temperament scores are not aggressive and are not shy. Also, these dogs are generally friendly and are protective of their owners.

    The average temperament score across all dog breeds (over 250 breeds) is 83.7 percent.

    With its temperament score of 85.2 percent, the Vizsla has an above-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.

    With its temperament score of 80.8 percent, the Weimaraner has a below-average temperament compared to other dog breeds.

    The ATTS obtained the temperament scores of the Vizsla and the Weimaraner by measuring the temperaments of 54 Vizslas and 224 Weimaraners.

    Price of Vizsla versus Price of Weimaraner

    The average price of the Vizsla puppy is $1590. The price of the Vizsla typically ranges from $1200 – $1800. However, the price of a Vizsla can be as low as $350 and as high as $4800.

    Note that a lot of factors determine how much you can expect to pay for the Vizsla puppy or the Weimaraner puppy. This includes if health screening tests have been performed on the puppy, if the puppy is from a famous pedigree, the US State where the puppy is bred, etc.

    Nevertheless, when looking to buy a puppy, look at buying a puppy only from well-established breeders that breed puppies primarily for the love of dogs, and secondarily for profit. Do not buy a puppy from a puppy mill. Puppy mills mass-produce puppies in bad living conditions for maximum profit.

    You may also consider adopting a dog instead of buying a dog.

    Vizsla versus Weimaraner

    The Intelligence of the Vizsla versus the Intelligence of the Weimaraner

    Vizsla Weimaraner
    Intelligence Rank 25 out of 130 dog breeds 21 out of 130 dog breeds
    Trainability Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions Tend To Learn New Commands After 5 To 15 Repetitions

    Professor Stanley Coren, the famous psychology/neuropsychological professor and, dog lover/trainer measured and ranked the intelligence of about 130 different dog breeds.

    According to Prof. Stanley Coren, the total intelligence that a dog demonstrates is the addition of three types of intelligence. These intelligence types are:

  • Instinctive Intelligence: This is the natural intelligence a dog has because of what the dog was bred for. This type of intelligence comes from instinct. For example, dog breeds that were bred for guarding will have high `guarding` instinctive intelligence, while dog breeds that were bred for hunting will what high `hunting` instinctive intelligence. However, you cannot compare the intelligence of dog breeds based on instinctive intelligence because such a comparison will not make sense.
  • Adaptive Intelligence (learning and problem-solving ability): This indicates what a dog can learn to do for himself or herself. It includes learning and benefiting from experience with his environment, solving new problems, and so forth. Adaptive intelligence is specific to each dog, and not breed specific. Thus, two dogs can have remarkably different levels of adaptive intelligence even if they are of the same breed.
  • Working/Obedience Intelligence: This intelligence is the closest to what we might call school-learning ability and it is based upon what the dog can learn to do when instructed by humans. Importantly, different dog breeds have different learning abilities. Also, science has shown that some dog breeds can learn faster than some other breeds. This means certain dog breeds tend to have higher working/obedience intelligence than some other breeds. Dogs with high Working/Obedience Intelligence are smart and easy to train.
  • Prof. Coren showed that the Working/Obedience Intelligence of different dog breeds can be measured reliably. Thus, he was able to rank different dog breeds based on their Working/Obedience Intelligence.

    This is important because according to Prof. Coren, 51 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from its genes while 49 percent of a dog`s intelligence comes from the dog`s environmental circumstances.

    To rank the intelligence of dog breeds, Prof. Coren employed the help of 208 dog obedience judges in North America to fill out a detailed survey on dog obedience. This number represented more than half of all of these judges in North America at the time. He also employed 63 veterinarians and 14 guard dog experts to collect data on the personality of different dog breeds.

    Prof. Coren found that the Vizsla has an obedience intelligence rank of 25 out of 130 dog breeds. The Vizsla belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Vizslas tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.

    The Weimaraner has an obedience intelligence rank of 21 out of 130 dog breeds. The Weimaraner belongs to the `Excellent Working Dogs` category. This means that Weimaraners tend to learn new commands after 5 to 15 repetitions.

    The Weimaraner is more intelligent than the Vizsla.

    However, Prof. Coren noted that a dog should not be judged based on its intelligence alone, that other factors such as sociability, adorability, and compatibility with the owner are other very important factors that new dog owners need to consider when deciding on a new dog.

    The Popularity of Vizsla versus Popularity of Weimaraner

    Every year, the American Kennel Club (AKC) publishes information on how popular a dog breed is in that particular year. The AKC gets the popularity information of a breed from how many dogs of that breed the owners register with the AKC every year. The AKC collects this data for about 200 dog breeds. The AKC collects this data for purebred dogs only(no mixed or hybrid dogs).

    The graphs and the table below show the popularity of the Vizsla and the Weimaraner over the years.

    Based on the AKC popularity data over the years, the Vizsla is more popular with dog owners than the Weimaraner. This is because, over the years, the average popularity of the Vizsla is 32 out of about 200 dog breeds while the average popularity of the Weimaraner is 35 out of about 200 dog breeds.

    Health Problems of Vizsla versus Health Problems of Weimaraner

    Every dog breed has its own set of health problems that it has a tendency to develop. There is nothing like a perfect dog breed.

    Both the Vizsla and the Weimaraner are prone to certain genetic health conditions. The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) is the organization that keeps track of health problems in dogs. Based on the extensive records that the OFA keeps, the OFA knows what health problems each dog breed is naturally prone to develop. Hence, the OFA recommends which health screening that breeders should perform on a dog breed to make sure that the breeders won`t breed `defective` dog parents that can pass down defective genes to their puppy offspring.

    The more health problems a dog breed is prone to develop, the more health tests the OFA will recommend for that dog breed.

    Based on our review of OFA records, we found that the Vizsla is prone to more genetic health problems than the Weimaraner.

    This is because the OFA recommends more screening health tests for the Vizsla than for the Weimaraner.

    7 health tests are recommended for Vizsla while 5 tests are recommended for the Weimaraner.

    Below is a detailed discussion of health problems in Vizslas and in Weimaraners.

    Vizsla Health Problems

    Vizslas are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Vizsla puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Vizsla puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Vizsla breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Vizslas for:

  • Autoimmune thyroiditis
  • Cardiac Evaluation
  • click here
  • Elbow Dysplasia
  • Eye Examination
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • Sebaceous Adenitis
  • You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Vizslas here.

    Weimaraner Health Problems

    Weimaraners are genetically prone to certain health problems. However, breeders can reduce the chances of producing Weimaraner puppies with genetic defects by making sure that a puppy`s parents are free from genetic health problems before allowing the parent to make puppies.

    The OFA provides breeders recommendations on which genetic diseases that breeders should screen their dog parents and puppies for.

    If you want a Weimaraner puppy that will grow up to be healthy, make sure that your Weimaraner breeder screens your puppy or your puppy`s parents for the health problems that the OFA recommends for your puppy`s breed. This will increase the chances that your puppy is free from genetic defects.

    The following are the health tests that Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) recommends that breeders should screen Weimaraners for:

  • Eye Examination
  • Hip Dysplasia
  • HYPERURICOSURIA
  • Hypomyelination
  • Thyroid
  • You can find out more about OFA`s recommended tests for Weimaraners here.

    More Discussions on Health Problems in Vizslas and Weimaraners

    Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Vizsla Breed is Advanced Cardiac problems.

    This is because the Vizsla ranks 45 out of 71 dog breeds for Advanced Cardiac problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 273 Vizslas, 1 of them had Advanced Cardiac problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Vizslas, and how common these diseases are in Vizslas relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Advanced Cardiac problems: Rank 45 out of 71 Dog Breeds
  • Congenital Cardiac problems: Rank 51 out of 159 Dog Breeds
  • Thyroid problems: Rank 70 out of 115 Dog Breeds
  • Elbow problems: Rank 105 out of 144 Dog Breeds
  • Hips problems: Rank 143 out of 198 Dog Breeds
  • Eyes problems: Rank 163 out of 182 Dog Breeds
  • Based on our analysis of data from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, of all known genetic health problems in dogs, the health problem that is most commonly seen in the Weimaraner Breed is Dentition Database problems.

    This is because the Weimaraner ranks 44 out of 49 dog breeds for Dentition Database problems. In fact, in a health test conducted on 62 Weimaraners, 0 of them had Dentition Database problems.

    The genetic diseases that were found to commonly occur in Weimaraners, and how common these diseases are in Weimaraners relative to other dog breeds, are given below:

  • Dentition Database problems: Rank 44 out of 49 Dog Breeds
  • Thyroid problems: Rank 62 out of 115 Dog Breeds
  • Patella problems: Rank 80 out of 145 Dog Breeds
  • Elbow problems: Rank 113 out of 144 Dog Breeds
  • Eyes problems: Rank 125 out of 182 Dog Breeds
  • Hips problems: Rank 127 out of 198 Dog Breeds
  • The table below lists the common health problems in Vizsla and in Weimaraner and the rank (prevalence), compared to other dogs, of these health problems in the Vizsla and the Weimaraner:

    Disease Vizsla Rank Weimaraner Rank
    Advanced Cardiac problems 45 out of 71 dog breeds Not Common
    Congenital Cardiac problems 51 out of 159 dog breeds Not Common
    Thyroid problems 70 out of 115 dog breeds 62 out of 115 dog breeds
    Elbow problems 105 out of 144 dog breeds 113 out of 144 dog breeds
    Hips problems 143 out of 198 dog breeds 127 out of 198 dog breeds
    Eyes problems 163 out of 182 dog breeds 125 out of 182 dog breeds
    Dentition Database problems Not Common 44 out of 49 dog breeds
    Patella problems Not Common 80 out of 145 dog breeds

    *To learn more about each of these diseases, go to OFA.org and search for the disease.

    Again, most of these health problems can be prevented through health screening. Responsible breeders screen male and female dog parents for genetic problems. These breeders will only breed dogs that are free of genetic defects. That way, there is little or no chance that their puppies will grow up to have genetic health problems. Always ask a breeder for the list of health tests the breeder screens their dogs for before buying a puppy from such a breeder.
