Dogster Photo Contest: Dogs of the Week Winners (September 11, 2025)

This Week’s Winner

Name: Zsuzsi
Breed: Hungarian Vizsla
Fun Fact: “Zsuzsi tilts her head like this all the time. Her beautiful eyes fixed and
staring. Zsu is snuggled on the bed in our campervan, where we live 80% of the time. Zsuzsi is a little skinny here, on top of the regular barmy Vizsla behaviours, Zsu is hyperactive, and has days where  anxieties cause her to pull off some pretty ridiculous dives for cover.
Zsu is prey driven, 1 Moorhen, 3 rabbits, 2 pigeons, 3 pheasants and an
unknown number of moths, flies, wasps, bees, daddy long legs, have all succumbed to Zsuzsi’s hunting skills. Lastly, she is squeak mad, she has been known to squeak her ball for an entire 2 hour walk, or just for fun when I am watching the tv. I could talk of Zsu’s antics all day. My best friend 🧡”
