I don't think it would be fair to say one breed is better in the house vs another. You have to judge each dog individually. I've seen Great Danes as gentle a butterflys and Yorkies that were terrors. You can expect both of your choices to have a lots of energy/ exercise needs. Obviously the hair maintenance is a minor difference. The GSP doesn't have the tail to sweep off the table either. Have you decided on sex? On a different aspect though, just keep in mind that a good hunting dog is expected to run through brush, thorns etc.(need to be "thick skinned") My own dogs (GSP's and Vizslas) weren't the gentlest walking around the kids, furnishings. I'm referring to physical handling, not disposition. In other words, your 1 year old could get bumped around. One side note; speaking from experience, there could be dominance challenges as well (between pup and child). But that's a different topic all together. Either breed can do fine indoors under proper supervision and training.
