Would having a flushing dog AND a pointing dog for hunting pheasant work?

or would the flushing dog over rule the pointer making the pointer useless alongside the flusher? I kinda want an english springer spaniel, and a brittany to keep the spaniel company while at work, but dont know that i’ll hunt the pointer if he/she would be useless working with a flusher.
Any good tips or ideas for training a dog for pheasant hunting?

I have a black lab that’s 6 months old now, she’s fairly well trained at this point on the basic commands. I’ve taken her out in the woods for excercise to get her in good shape so that she’d be able to handle hunting in the fields. Just wondering what some good tips or training strategies work best. Especially for staying close, not chasing birds 100 yards away, listening when getting super excited. Those were problems with my previous dog but she learned what to do after a few times. My pups now already knows what BIRD means, I’ve hid a dummy bird with a pheasant winning on it and she’s really good at sniffing it out. So she should know what to look for just a matter of teaching her everything else. Any help on the matter is appreciated.
