Raising English Setters over a period of twenty-two years, I have seen them come and go as both a field dog and as a show dog.

Most people overlook the setter as a pet or house dog: they usually see the setter as just a dog for hunting. But in my years of experience in breeding and raising them, I have found that even after a hard day in the field, regardless of field or show breeding, you can comb and brush out the burrs and bring your setter into the house and be sure he will be the true gentleman as a setter should be.

It is my opinion that their disposition surpasses that of the average breed and I have seen very few that have the least tendency of being cross. Their sweet and gentle disposition along with their intelligence and aristocratic appearance in the field and in the home make them more appealing to the sportsman and to all lovers of beautiful dogs. Their lovable disposition makes them ideal companions for children.

The English setter thrives on love and affection from its master and household. lf you ever own an English setter, he will ‘get under your skin’ so that you will join the other setter owners in saying ONCE A SETTER, ALWAYS A SETTER.
