Speaking with experience on the subject of not "spoiling" a good bird dog, my 3 year old Griffon (Werden) will transition from pointing a bird one moment to pointing a cottontail 25' away the next. My 1 year old Griffon (Parker) has been hunting with us the tail end of this season and is following suit. They will both hold a staunch point even once I spook the rabbit and shoot. I must say I did not intentionally try to train them on this. Our bird cover in CT often has many more rabbits than birds.
