Back in late March I had taken my French Brittany to a reputable trainer that was recommended to me by another GDF member.
As time progressed I would hear nothing but high marks on his progression.
But it seems he's stuck between a rock and a hard place.....At times he half way point on birds, but even then he don't hold a good point. When he does a half @ss point he won't hold very long then he's busting the bird. While other times he don't find the birds at all.
He seems to have no interest in retrieving either. I noticed that when he was a pup. He would go fetch the bumper and about half way back he was drop the bumper and go do something else. As if he had lost all interest in it.
At this point I really don't know what my options are with this dog, do I continue having the trainer work with him "hoping" that eventually, he will come out of his shell? Where do I draw the line, saying enough? Where do I say he just doesn't have the drive in him?
I had anticipations that he would be field ready by the time pheasant season come around, but it don't look like that's going to happen.
