Beauregard of Rebel Ridge - My Setter Pup
 

Here are some photos of Beau, my ten month old setter pup. He is a grandson of Shadow Oak Bo, and this guy is built for speed! Beautiful tri-color fella. He is a big boy, taller than most of the setters that I've been around. Goes about 60 pounds.

He has taken to training very well. He is totally gun-broke, holds points steady to wing and shot, and retrieves OK for a young dog. He is whistle-broke, and we've started on Whoa-breaking. My wife is happy that he is doing very well at heel. Coming from a field dog like Shadow Oak Bo, he's a big runner and he has a ton of energy, so we get a big run most every morning on the farm, and then a big play time in the evening at our local dog park.

Rebel Ridge is a local guy's private kennel here in Kentucky, and I have been working Beau out quite a bit at Gasper River Kennels (Setters and GSP's), also here in south central Kentucky.

I love this guy, and can't wait for this fall's grouse season.

What a handsome pup he is! Is there some Llewellin blood in there?

Fine looking Setter pup Dave!!

Yes, Dean, I believe there is some Llewellin blood in his gene pool..... :)

Dave

Very nice Dave. We're gonna have to meet up at Elk Creek again and get some practice in before bird season.

Hope we'll see him in Mich this fall

Chances are good, John! Very, very good! In fact, I may bring him along on the spring trout trip in May!

Dave

Great looking setter Dave. I maybe getting my female setter this summer too.

Beau is my first setter, having been a lifelong Lab guy. Labs are like the Swiss Army knife of dogs and I've used mine for ducks, upland birds, and grouse, but I am sure enjoying have my first true English Setter bird dog.

Good luck to you, Eric!

Dave

Proud dog-dad and understandably so. Looking forward to meeting him in May or this fall. Lucky for us there are enough couches at the Oxbow for the dogs - hopefully they'll be willing to share with us.

Cheers,

Jay
