Default Setter breeders in Michigan

Any recommendations for a setter breeder in Michigan? Or within driving distance?

Thanks.

Are you looking for a pup or a started dog?

Kirk, find a guy that runs the "Cover Dog" trials (there are lots of them in Michigan) and inquire about a puppy. Those guys know of darn near every puppy that is available or will be. You are certain to get headed down the right path to a quality dog.

Scott Chaffee (spelling?) is around the Clare/Beaverton area he runs trial dogs and has had some champion Setters. You might ask over at MI sportsman board or Upland Journal board.

In Illinois there is Highland Kennels owned by Caren Mansfield & JD Waters. They bought the line of Highland Llewellin’s from Glen Roark when he retired about 10 years ago. Very good hunting and field trial heritage.

If you are interested in a Ryman type setter I would recommend getting ahold of Mark Alteman at Rum Creek Kennels in Rockford. He is planning to have a breeding soon and his Bitch briar is an awesome grouse dog. The stud belongs to a vet up north and is great as well.
