I do a lot of hating on puppies. I love puppies, but I also spend a lot of time warning people that puppies are not even a little bit as easy as you think they’re going to be. Getting a puppy is a little bit like having a toddler!

However, it’s not always the puppy causing the problems. Sometimes, their grown siblings are the ones teaching them to be troublemakers! That was the case for one Golden Retriever puppy, whose big Vizsla sibling was schooling him in horsing around:

Miller and Cash did not take long at all to match each other’s freak, that’s for sure. The two of them get along so well, and their mom is just so, so tired!

Miller is only about 10 weeks old. He was a Christmas puppy, and he’s going to be training to be a therapy dog as soon as possible! Golden Retrievers are an excellent choice for that type of work, luckily, so I have high hopes… Though Cash might not make it easy.

Typically, there’s a little bit of an adjustment period needed. My middle dog didn’t go near our youngest puppy for a month after we brought her home, and 2.5 years later, he still doesn’t really like her very much! That’s not Miller and Cash, though. They hit it off right away:

There was a little bit of side eye there, but honestly, not bad at all. This is a very successful sibling meeting to me, and a gorgeous pairing to boot! Miller is an English Cream Golden Retriever, which means he’ll grow into a soft, buttermilk colored coat instead of the standard golden hue.

This is definitely not a pairing everyone could handle, though. These breeds both take serious dedication and training to keep happy and healthy!

Vizslas Are Excellent Dogs

Everyone knows that Golden Retrievers are some of the best dogs out there. Any list will tell you that, but it’s a little less common to see a Vizsla getting all of this love! It’s unfair; these are awesome dogs.

Vizslas, like Golden Retrievers, were bred as waterfowl hunting companions. They’re motivated, smart, and very strong! Due to their shared background, these dogs have similar needs and energy levels. They’re good companions for each other, especially if you like a little bit of chaos, apparently!
