So are you trying to say that you teach a dog to be a strong flusher? If so, you have no idea whatsoever what you're talking about. A dog has it or they don't, of course you can reinforce it, but if it isn't there to begin with, you can't make it happen. Breeding labs to be hesitant flushers "pointers" will/has created entire lines of dogs that aren't aggressive flushers. Separate "pointing" labs into their own registry and the problem goes away.
If one cannot breed for hesitancy to flush, then the entire concept of a "pointing" lab is a hoax and everyone who owns one has been taken to the cleaners. Personally, I don't think this is the case. "Pointing" labs are lines of dogs that have been bred to be weak flushers. A good pointing pup will point as a 6 week old pup. Are you saying that an aggressive field bred lab (real lab - not a pointing lab) will also point? Silly!
