No John, They all have loving homes waiting for them. Only two of them are hunting families - the others simply want a setter as a companion dog for their kids or for themselves... and that's not a bad thing at all. Setters make wonderful house pets and terrific therapy dogs. Legh and Jenn Higgins (owners of Coronation Kennels where we got Grace, and of Burdock, Grace's 'boyfriend' { https://www.twomblysetters.com }) bring several of their Twombly Setters to area senior centers, nursing homes, and pediatric hospitals to brighten the days of the patients there.

Best, Dean

Grace is a great dog and I'm sure her pups will grow to be great as well.
You might be exhausted now but you will be sad when they are gone.
Thanks for the photos. I passed them along to my kids.

Based on the X-rays of Grace's belly full of puppies showing 7, we took orders on 7 pups... but she whelped 8. We had a potential buyer for the 8th but that didn't work out so, stay tuned...
