    funnily enough the first springer ever I owned had that habit, he would drive hard in cover then sett on game, he would freeze before flushing and would even look round to see where you were before flushing, I never considered it a fault cos it gave me an unsporting advantage, this habit stayed with him for life. Its not really a fault as such as long as she flushes..it wouldnt do in trials all the same.Its hard to say with your bitch , it may leave her it may not but as long as she puts them up then its grand for a roughshooting dog IMO:)
