Vizslador Puppy Proves the Hardest Part of Raising a Puppy Is How Fast They Grow Up
Puppyhood is a magical time that can feel endless while you're living it, filled with memories of little paws and chaotic moments that will last forever. Only to then feel like life has hit the fast-forward button, and you realize those early days disappeared faster than you expected.
In this video, we meet a Vizslador puppy (Vizsla and Labrador Retriever) growing right there before our eyes. A dog breed that grows seemingly at warp speed already, this puppy gives us a sweet reminder that the hardest parts of puppyhood are worth every second.

On June 23, TikTok user @finnthevizslador shared a video of a stunning Vizslador puppy, Finn, who has big eyes and a gorgeous red-hued coat. Since he's a Vizslador, these dogs are known to grow very quickly, and watching this clip, I'm not surprised his mama is asking, "Where has that time gone?"

In the comments, people were happy to praise sweet Finn and commiserate with his mom about how fast this phase of puppy parenting goes. Comments included, "Time flies way too quickly," "4 am wake-ups," "Aww, so cute," "He's gorgeous," "Such a gorgeous boy. I miss my little one being a puppy," "They grow up way too fast," and "True!! But also, the biting and the peeing inside when they were outside half a minute ago."

What To Expect During a Vizsla Puppy's First Year of Growth and Development
Finn was such a cute puppy, but he's also a very stunning adult doggy, too, and the Vizslador goes through some big changes in that first year of life, according to experts.
According to AZ Animals, Vizslas are the "ultimate sports dog," which means they're very active, appear to have endless energy, and have muscles that help them reach top speed. Oh, and they grow really fast: born weighing up to 1.5 pounds, by 8 weeks they weigh up to 15 pounds, at 6 months they weigh up to 36 pounds, and then fully grown at 18 months, these pups can weigh up to 60 pounds.
That's a lot of growth in a year and a half. And we see that happen nearly before our eyes in this cute clip of Finn.
