Most Dogs that turn out to be a decent Gun Dog, the topic of this forum… start as early as possible having them have Bird contacts.
A Kid who is exposed to Russian at birth, picks it up quicker than one who isn’t exposed till they are a teenager. Has to do with brain development. Dogs are no different.
It may workout, but the Dog will definitely be behind the curve, if serious exposure doesn’t start till after 2 YO. No reason not to put Her on Birds now. A duel champion would be great. Few make the grade.
There are exceptions and congrats on the wins. However, this is a Gun Dog and not a show Dog forum.
