RE: Year-round dog.
I see that most of the reply's were from GSP owners. I own a 7 YO Vizsla male, He is my buddy and loves to hunt. I think he might be in the back yard looking for some qauil that have roosted tonight. He loves his job. But he will lay down in the house if that is what I ask of him and stay right there. He is not fixed by the way. He will spend hours in the field and never complaine. I think that you have to be careful no matter what breed you chose. Good Luck
