Recommended Answer:
Not at all. If you will be training it to be a gun dog, the sooner the better... Many kennels & game preserves that raise hunting dogs, usually start getting them out a couple times, around 4 months... They get to see the other dogs hunt & hear the shooting... I have seen bird dog pups point at 12 wks... It's very instinctual in well bred dogs.

sorry, I misread your question... thinking your were asking if it was too early... so said not at all... 6 months is the perfect age to break a gun dog.
