Thanks everyone for your feedback it is much appreciated. Needless to say we are invested to commit to training, socialisation and stimulation needs of whatever breed we settle upon as we know that will benefit our pup and our sanity. I have heard Viszlas can be clingy, whiny etc so your input has been useful. We were considering either a Golden labrador or German shorthaired pointer too so I glad some have suggeted these breeds. Though we're a little hesitant with GSP escaping tendencies as we are in a semi rural area with wildlife ie. wallabies, deer, bush turkeys, echindas. Thanks again

I'd appreciate some input from those have had experience with vizsla or flat coated retrievers. My family are considering these breeds but are unsure which would suit us best. We live on 2.5acres (1.5 acres fully fenced around our house) with an 8yo and 10yo. We are looking for a kid-friendly dog with an easy to maintain coat and that will alert us to strangers. I have been looking at a few sites so have some idea on traits. I am curious to see what others have experienced with these breeds whether positive or negative. Thanks in advance :)
