How wide-ranging is the kind of “bird” that motivates the confirmed setter-man?

Here is Burton L. Spiller, in MORE GROUSE FEATHERS, Derrydale Press, 1938:

“…if I owned a thoroughbred setter…I had a mental picture of the only dog that would satisfy me, a silky-haired, snow-white specimen of such ethereal beauty that ladies, especially if they were young and good-looking, would stop and gasp in admiration at the sheer beauty of us both.”

Spiller was the “poet laureate of the grouse hunter” but it appears obvious he was quite the dreamer as well.

Sure we had a couple Trojans at the shop that a less then knowledgeable retired Army captain had done and then when he sold them he lost his a.s.s .

Hmmm.Ugh. How about factory guns?
Worst example I've seen on a gun was a gold inlaid fat Jack Russell terrier on a 28 gauge M12
