The standard coat is French-row yellow in several shadings.<ref name="akc"/> The coat could also be described as a yellow, orange, copper-brown color, russet gold, and dark sandy gold. Solid, dark, mahogany red and pale yellow are considered faults and a disqualification in competitions. Small areas of white on the fore-chest, neck, or tail are permissible<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.akc.org/breeds/vizsla/index.cfm|title=Vizsla Dog Breed Information|work=akc.org|access-date=2 April 2005|archive-date=4 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130904230727/http://www.akc.org/breeds/vizsla/index.cfm|url-status=dead}}</ref> but not preferred. Some variations in the Vizsla coat color along their back (saddle-type marks) are typical.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) breed standards for the Vizsla states that the coat should be short, smooth, dense, and close-lying, without a woolly undercoat. The Vizsla is not suited to being kept outside since, unlike most other breeds, it does not have an undercoat. They are self-cleaning dogs and rarely need to be bathed, if ever. They have little noticeable "dog smell" detectable by humans. After several forays into lakes and streams they will develop an aroma that is a weaker version of the 'wet dog' smell. A quick bath and this odor will vanish.
