DOG BLOG
Over the following weeks, I am going to try to feature as many breeds of dog as I can. Because I love them.
This week, it’s all about the Hungarian Vizsla. More specifically, my Vizsla, Boo.
Known as the Velcro Dog, it soon became apparent to us why. I have never met a dog more desperate for cuddles and kisses. She isn’t choosy either - anyone who walks in invited through the front door usually gets a french kiss whether they like it or not. Weirdly enough, some people don’t.
Her favourite type of human is typically weak, therefore easy to floor, and prone to squealing. Long hair is good too - helps her to pin you down whilst licking every scrap of make-up/moisturiser off your face.
Five minutes later, though, she’ll be out for the count, as long as she can sit as close to you as possible, preferably around your neck.
I’m told that Boo is typical of her breed and I couldn’t recommend vizslas enough.
The colours I use to paint Boo’s distinctive russet/gold fur are:-
Burnt Sienna
Cadmium Red
Cadmium Yellow
Titanium White
Crimson
Ultramarine Blue
Raw Umber
Pride of place.
