I can't speak for the ability of the Vizsla in the field yet, but having bought my first one (now just over 7 months old) I have found him to be: a) a bit of a very amusing clown like character when he is "off duty" and, b) very keen to please and quite biddable/trainable. Also, I don't know if it is the breed generally or just this individual but he is also an intelligent animal who quickly figures things out. Having had a number of dogs over the years for various purposes I rate this one very highly and have great expectations of him.
