Re: Breaking at the flush
The first season I hunt a dog, I expect them to stay steady and let me flush the birds. If I flush the birds, I shoot, if not I don't shoot and we go look for more birds. If they chase after the shot its not an issue.

Re: Flagging?
I have seen it in dogs that have had too much pressure put on them in training. I suspect in some situations it is a sign of uncertainty in a dog.
I am sure it can also be partly from breeding.

I would not worry about his range, it doesn't matter. What matters is that he will hold point until you walk in front and flush.
Steady him up, that is the problem not his range.
