I just got a wire haired Vizsla and they are quite interesting. I am not so sure about easier to train because I think my dog is perhaps too smart. It has learned some things where I never even gave a command, sits at the door even when it is open so I can wipe off its paws. But on the negative is not sure when it is OK to come through the door. She also took a no command to mean something else and it took a while to convince her that she was OK. So it seems to me that you have to be careful that when you give a command it is extremely clear what you want. Also, I think that with this dog use of any force would cause big problems, I think a shock collar would lead to having a dog that does not leave your leg. Because of all this I think training might take a bit longer and you will have to be more careful. If you have experience training dogs it should not be a big deal but a first time trainer might have some problems.

However, as a house dog, I have never had a dog that was more attentive nor liked being around people more than this dog and I have had several labs. More often than not when I am working on something she will come over and lean on me or sit on my feet. She also often prefers to be petted than going to a bowl of food. I have not put live birds in front of her yet but she really had an intense point on some pheasant wings I have.
