I have a 6 month golden retriever my family just had to have. I want to drop him on the side of the rd some days, but then remember he is just a pup. He is huge but still a pup. I had two bird dogs a few years back and they didn't really start acting right unt they were about 2. Imagine a toddler- to adult dog. Just not gonna happen. Gonna be some tough teenage years in between. Keep working and she will probably be great. If this doesn't fit your schedule then good luck to a good home. Wish I had room for another.
