He was a Decoverly. Ken Alexander picked him out for us. Ken picked a good one! His Dam was L’il Lil and sire was Sterling.

Funny how you never hear, "I had a Setter once but switched to a _________."

Okay, you ALMOST never hear it. And certainly not from those with disciminating taste.

Jon, now you’re digging where the taters are!!

Mike,
Jon's just pulling my chain (he's my baby brother by 12 yrs.) and my first setter (Irish) helped raise him. I have french brittanys now (more room on the bed), but I'm still a setter man, too.
I've been telling him, that on one of his rare trips down from Maine, I want to being him to The Mountain, to meet you and Sam and your setters. I know you'll get on well, Jon's a real dog-man.

[Mike of the Mountain]

Well Hal, your brother will definitely get his Setter fix!!

I'm chasing 2- 3 month olds and their mother around now. Doesn't that qualify as a fix?

[Mike of the Mountain]

Yes it does!!
