One thing with Vizslas, they are not real hard go getters, so you have to be slower with them, compared to other breeds. You can do what you want, but myselfI would worry, or concetrate more on upland birds. It is very possible to have a nice bird dog. Right now I am working a pair of 4 mo, and 6 mo. old bitch, just starting them on pointing and getting out from under the feet. When te desire for he birds gets to where the dog is running the bird down and catching, or just not wanting to give up the chase, then we move on. What you have to watch is there are alot of show vizslas, and that is alot like watching water boiling, few but not many know what or how, and if you get to watch a hunter that knows what is going on, and a show dog, you will definately see a difference. Nothing against, just different games. It up to you what you want to do, the biggest thought for the day, is patience while working, the are very tempermental, and if you do not have a softer presentation, they will sour on ya, and thats it, your done, will not forgive, worst than a setter!!
