She will be good.
Don't worry about the quail,she is hunting.
I had a weimaraner that while she didn't trail bark ,did all the same things.
She found quail where I didn't expect to see them. Oterehinaiti Stream in the middle of the Kaimanawas for one.
Once I got a stop on her and she worked out what we were after turned out fine.
The dogs are smart enough to know what is/isn't on the menu after they learn.
She was about 15-18 month's when I got her.
