playful with kids that small, though. They will want to crawl on the lap of a small child just to be close, which might be uncomfortable for the child if the dog is bigger than they are. Very willing to be trained. A bonus with Vizslas is they are much better than most other breeds if anyone has allergies. Since they only have a single coat, they don't have the dander problem that say a German shorthair would have. But, because of that, they cannot sleep outside in an unheated space.
