Alfred and Ken, Are you familiar with the sporting dog writer, Horace Lytle? He had a Red Setter, quite a famous dog as I recall (Smada Bird was the dog's name...if memory serves). He authored quite a few (very good) books during the 1920-30s. If you are not acquainted with Lytle, he's worth a read.
