Here's what it says about Vizsla's and Weimaraner's:
Breed: Vizsla
Breed: Vizsla
Type: Pointer
Hunting Style: Vizsla's are very energetic working dogs that are robust but rather lightly built. They exhibit natural abilities to point and retrieve and show a genuine love of water. They do not have an undercoat, however, and are not particularly well suited for very low temperatures.
General Appearance: The Vizsla is a medium sized breed with a coat that is generally short and smooth in a golden rust color although they can tend toward a deeper red. Tails are generally docked to a length of roughly two thirds of the natural length. They are generally lean but well muscled.
Size: Height usually ranges from 20 to 25 inches from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders and weight usually ranges between 45 and 65 pounds.
Disposition:Vizsla's tend to be very bright and social dogs that thrive on attention and affection. Known as a one owner dog because of their loyalty. They take training well but must be handled carefully as they generally exhibit sensitive personalities. They are poorly suited to be outdoor dogs but will thrive indoors provided they are sufficiently exercised.

Breed: Weimaraner
Type: Pointer
Hunting Style: The Weimaraner is a good all purpose gun dog that is able to hunt many types of game. It is a versatile hunter that was originally bred for hunting large game but became more focused on upland game as the popularity for large game hunting declined. Prey drive is strong and instinctive and training should begin at a young age to shape their general hunting instincts.
General Appearance: The Weimaraner is a large breed with a coat that is generally short and smooth in a mouse-gray or silver-grey color. Tails are generally docked early to a length to no more than one third of the natural length.
Size: Height usually ranges from 23 to 27 inches from the ground to the highest point of the shoulders and weight usually ranges between 55 and 80 pounds.
Disposition: A fast and powerful breed, Weimaraners are very active and are known for their stamina so must be kept active in a family setting. They tend to be less social toward strangers and can be very protective. They can also be territorial and should be socialized early to avoid aggression.

And, I think you are gonna be VERY pleasantly surprised with Scoob!

In the past Bubba has bitten only Bohunks and morons. I leave it up to y'all to decide if you're safe.
so you're saying you've been bit a few times?
I was wondering how long it would take you to heal...
I loved most of it, though it was a little long, but I wouldn't call it pretenious. Apatow just got a little serious, which one is allowed to do every now and then. Dog Trailers
