Tom, Stoney was quite a beautiful dog!

 Thanks Joe.  I have always had "small" setters because I believed that they lived longer.  My current setter is the smallest I have ever seen.  I believe the large setters such as the Ryman and others are the prettiest of dogs.  I would have loved to own one, but right or wrong, I always felt the small setters lived longer.  I hunted Stoney when he was fifteen years old.  He died when he was sixteen.
