When your dad raised and trained setters and field trialed them, they get in ones blood stream. Its just too hard to break. Im on my 3rd english setter and while she may be excitable at times, we have taken over 150 birds over her. My labs were great hunters too. But english setters are just too far into my blood stream.

But, to each his own. We all have preferences for various reasons but no breed is "better" than the others.

Thats true Dean and most of my friends have setters and they are great dogs. In my early years I had them as my grandfather always had setters. I've had GSP's for over 30 years and just like Parkers they get in your blood The boys just need to overcome the puppy stage and they will. Five weeks at the cabin hunting every day will tire them out.
