Schärfe

Der Magyar Vizsla über ausreichend WiIdschärfe und eine gewisse Schärfe im Rahmen seiner Beschützereigenschaft.

Wer einen Hund zum Personenschutz anschaffen will, hat im Magyar Vizsla nicht die am besten geeignete Hunderasse gewählt. Seine Schärfe im jagdlichen Gebrauch oder als Beschützer für Haus und Hof ist durchaus ausreichend

Explanation:
The Viszla is not a vicious dog. It is a hunting dog and therefore very keen and alert. Your sentence says that it is not suitable as a protector and that would be true of any hunting dog-they are very alert but not agressive (not suitable as Schutzhund). It would be helpful to see the rest of the sentence.
