Maybe a different road to consider. I have hunted behind a couple of these dogs. Impressive.!
They hold thier own in the retriever hunt testing program too.

Kevin and Barb Eskam. Again, really easy people to talk to. Highly successful with pointing labs in competition.Make sure you watch videos of their “pointing labs” on their page..
A friend of mines Drahthaar at work rock solid point!
A picture I took of a friends really nice Drathar. Dog was rock steady, and had an uncanny bird finding ability. He tried to get involved in HRC testing programs , especially the Upland title, but he lost interest due to Hrc upland tests are for” flushing” breeds. Pointers can run the tests, but once they make the bird and point, they are then required to when commanded, to flush the bird , and to be steady through the shot.
He didn’t want his pointer breaking point to flush bird.. so he lost interest. Great dog to hunt behind though..
Even a semi talented Labrador can do respectable upland work, even the non pointing types! My Flinch! This was her first day of sit to flush training. First bird. Thank Cherylon for the sit…..
As Flinch got older, she started what some call a “flash point” She would hold it just for a short period, then flush bird, and sit to flush.
