They are good with children, but they grow to be larger than an elephant.

well if you go to google search and type vizzlas dog breed then you can do research about those dogs some times those dogs are use for hunting sports and can be aggressive toward of other animals and really need get plenty of exercise and train well. but as for children i dont know about that. its not easily to find viszlas dogs in U.S. because they orgin from middle east in different country to able adopt those dogs.

(c/p) The Vizsla sounds like a great dog for children. ... Vizslas are lively, gentle-mannered, loyal, caring and highly affectionate. They quickly form close bonds with their owners, including children. Often they are referred to as “velcro” dogs because of their loyalty and affection.Jan 24, 2008

My best advice is to locate a knowledgeable and reputable breeder and by appointment (if/when you can with Covid around) go visit. Try to ignore aaah puppies for now and see and ask all about adults. Good breeders want to help novice owners so they make the right choices for their particular life-style.
I go with no puppy with kids of under 5.

Viszlas were created in Hungary to work as a pointer and retriever, so like any working breed if the owner is prepared to put the training and 'give the dog a job' they are great dogs........ 2 kids...same with them if you have put the training and work in as a parent so the kids don't think any dog you get is a living toy for them...the kids need to know the boundries, they need to know how to respect any dogs space and learn about the responsibility of daily exercise, training, walking, feeding, health care of the dog as with any dog/kid household the negative issues can start with lack of respect of the dog by the kids and parents who buy a puppy for the kids as their living toy.
Any dog needs to know where it can go to get out of the kids way,,,like a crate or dog bed and the kids need to know they do no seek out, climb in or touch the dog when it is in there...as most dogs will retreat to avoid confrontation/reaction, same with feeding, kids need to learn to leave a dog alone while eating... however kids brought up with dogs learn from early on about care, they get lots of excerise and family time together so build better social skills

The breed is anything BUT "aggressive"; they would probably lick a burglar to death - at worst. (This is NOT a protective breed AT ALL!) They are generally good with children, but more active inside & out (as a dog bred to be a run-and-find then...point birds breed). This would be versus say a Golden (which is probably the BEST breed for *young* children). However, it is usually NOT recommended for anyone to get a dog until the youngest kid, is about age 6 since younger kids can get knocked over or flattened by any active breed. By age 6, a child can put up a knee (to ward off, the on-coming dog) or become savvy enough to get out of the way to to issue a command (if the dog has had basic obedience training).
Vizslas are very good obedience dogs and a very versatile breed (able to do many things well). They are a fairly "soft" breed vs hard-headed, and smaller than many sporting breeds, at 40-50 lbs. You should be able to find many excellent information sites starting with the AKC"s parent club for the breed. =>
Please utilize the TAB WORDS under the banner, in GRAY to read and find more information. You can also determine if there is a local Vizsla club in your area, such that you might be able to go see some at a club event, or hunt test, etc.

The Vizsla is described as lively, gentle, and affectionate, with above-average learning ability and a strong desire to be with people. He's known for being biddable, but there are always exceptions — some Vizslas can be stubborn, excitable, or shy.
