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.”

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 .
