Maybe. You could use retrieving and flushing. The videos are usually type restricted. Probably all will go into retrieving but if you get a retriever, a retriever video is what you want. If you end up with a pointer, then a pointing dog video is what you want. Retrieving is simply a function that can be trained to any breed. But generally speaking, no breeds do it so well as the retrievers.
You might also concider a spaniel, springer or boykin. Springer's would be lots easier to find. I don't know of a video dealing with them but am sure there muct be some.
For now, I'd recommend "The Monks of New Skete". it's a great insight into training dogs in general. They deal with German Shepards.

what he means by a pointer or a retriever is like a lab is a retriever it retrieves game and flushes game. A german wirehaired pointer is a pointer and points and retrieves downed game so if you get a retriever dvd it will only talk about retreiving stuff where as a pointer dvd will talk about pointing and just a tiny but of retrieving. If you want it all there is a couple of things you can do. You could geta pointing lab http://www.pointinglabtx.com/ and it will point and retrieve but will be better at retrieving or you could get a GWP www.devatakennels.org that would mainly point but also is a good retriever.

If you are getting a Retriever I suggest you get the book 10 Minute Retriever by John and Amy Dahl and a dvd called fowl Dawgs 1.
If you are getting a Pointing breed I would get the dvd called The Perfect Start by Jon and Cindy Hann. You can see all of them at www.coonriverkennels.com Good luck
