About Nick

Your new best friend is just one click away. Meet Nick, a lovable male Vizsla Weimaraner mix puppy who is searching for an active and loving forever home. His mother, Kelly, is a large Vizsla mix who has shown wonderful friendliness with people and other dogs, suggesting Nick’s potential for a similarly sweet temperament. Nick is already vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, helping you get a great head start with a healthy companion. With his lineage, Nick is likely to grow into a medium to large size, energetic dog who thrives on daily activities and adventures. He will benefit most from an experienced dog owner and, if possible, a home with another canine companion—especially if the household is often empty during the day. Because Vizslas and Weimaraners are known for their lively, hunting-driven personalities, Nick will do best with older children who have experience around energetic dogs and with an owner who can offer him both exercise and mental stimulation. Given his sporting background, Nick should be kept on leash or in a secured environment around small dogs, cats, or other small animals to ensure everyone’s safety. Nick and his siblings can be met by appointment at the kennel in Newport Beach, and he is in the caring hands of Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California, Inc. If you are seeking a joyful, spirited pup and can offer the right environment, Nick might be the perfect fit for your family. Fun fact: Nick was born on November 7th, making him a Scorpio, a sign known for its loyalty and spirited nature! They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
