Swosumike,
I can train a dog to point which has all the drive to search for birds you could ever want. I trained pointers to point. Their desire was to hunt objectives. They needed to learn to whoa to bird scent. My first Lab was softening on her flush. She locked up in a high-tailed point on a pheasant. I knew I hadn't been giving her enough clip-winged birds to catch. More clips and the point went away and she started flushing again. Drive and point are mutually exclusive. One must decide which is more important, point or flush, and train accordingly.
