Goldens are not pointing dogs. They were not bred to point.

i know they are not bred to point but that doesn't mean they can't be taught. i've seen plenty of goldens and labs while out bird huntin that pointed.

most likely going to be quite a challenge seeing as the breeds not known for pointing and being 5 years old is a litte late to start training.Not saying its impossible, just going to take a lot of work.
