Like everyone stated, there is no set time. Some words of wisdom is that it’s going to be difficult for you to train 2 pups. It being your first attempt, you might want to think about choosing one to move forward with and getting rid of one of them. I’m not saying that you can’t achieve success with 2 but it’s not an easy road with 1 pup much less 2 at the same time. For them to be doing it on their own at a year old means countless hours of hunting them alone and that’s a lot of hard hunting if you’ve got 2.
Another thing to remember is take everything you hear and especially read with a grain of salt. I have been discouraged with a pups progress before when I heard of all the great and wonderful things it’s littermate’s were already doing. After going and hunting with the other littermates I found that they were no further along and some were even behind my own pup. But, that is not how their owners portray them.
Finally, don’t be easily discouraged. It’s a long hard road to the finished product and you will have something you can be proud of. Not because it’s made the best dog in the world(maybe yours will be), but proud that you stuck to it and all the blood, sweat, and tears will have payed off in a finished product you can enjoy for whatever it has become! Good luck and have fun
