Dean,
beautiful pup. I guess that I will have to announce that I am also the proud owner of a little 12 week old female setter pup. I have not had the time to download any pictures yet, but will post them soon. My other 2 setters are 9, Betty, and Shiner will be 13 this fall. I wanted to wait until next year, but one of my best friends had , what he claimed will be his last litter of pups, and he wanted to give one to me. They are a little different bloodline than the 5 setters I have had. She will be all white in the body with orange ears and 2 orange eye patches. I have always been drawn to black and white setters, but she is a little sweetheart, and I think she will be on the small side. Easy to work with so far. Too bad she will be too young to hunt when I hit the UP for the last 2 weeks of October, but she will make the trip and I will work her each day.
Fancy is the pups name, Betty is the wonderful little setter in my avatar.

Dean, nothing makes the heart happier than the exuberance of a pup. She's beautiful. With every breath I take I miss my lovely and talented Hershee. Enjoy and cherish the wonderful early years because they are very special. Perhaps not the best years, but they are definitely very special.

I am happy for you and for Grace. It's obvious that she's in a good place with someone who cares deeply for her. And that's the way it should be, because no other animal on the face of the earth loves as completely as a good dog.

Please give her a pet for me.

John

Dean, dont want to hijack your thread on that beautiful setter, but finally got a few pictures of Fancy downloaded. My looks also pale in comparison.

Way too cute Harold. Even you will look good following her in the woods

:rotf:

Harold, she's a pretty girl by anyone's standards!! She'll be hard to keep clean....

Well There is one thing us old Parker Farts know how to do and that is pick up a good looking girl, great pup Dean, years of storied hunts in her, congrats Gary

Dean Where on earth did you get such a beautiful and smart puppy??

At Coronation Kennels in Lowell, VT. run by wonderful people and they have a great line of dogs.... Corey Ford had one of this line... Twombly setters - there is a great history with these dogs.

A beautiful setter! I hope the training continues well. As I recall, my Gordon Setter trained me!
