my pup in now ten weeks old... i plan on getting him a live quail to chase this week ..i plan on clipping the wings, should i let him catch it ??? what results am i looking for and how many days should i do this.???

I would not let him catch them.  GSP's usually have tons of prey drive and if he catches he will catch instead of point.  Make it fun and let him get excited, but I would not let him catch them.

Read the following by Cindy Stahle. It works well.

Life it sounds like your dog has had something negative happen with a bird such as one being launched in it's face or perhaps a harsh correction for diving in on the bird.

Very hard to tell not knowing what's been done with the dog prior.  CR
