Vizsla Staff (Magyar Vizsla and American Staffordshire Terrier Mix)
The Vizsla Staff is a hybrid dog descended from two impressive breeds - the Magyar Vizsla and the American Staffordshire Terrier.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, on the other hand, has its roots in the United Kingdom and the United States and is known for its strength, bravery and high energy levels.

Because of their high energy and need for regular exercise, Vizsla Staffs are best suited for active families or individuals who spend a lot of time outdoors. They can live well in apartments as long as they get enough exercise and stimulation. Their intelligence and desire to please make them good candidates for training and obedience exercises.
