I'm with you John, I like close hunting Setters. Unless you hunt out West there's no need for a field trial dog that needs you to be a track star to keep up.
We breed Ryman-type Setters and have used DeCoverly too. They are about 1/2 hour from us. They are starting to breed larger dogs again. Not many breeders were doing the larger Ryman-type like we do and they shifted gears again. We have no litters planned as our breeder bitch has been retired. DeCoverly is a very good choice. We were just there a few weeks ago to kennel the dogs that we didn't take to SC. They had definitely two litters and maybe a third on the ground.
If you are near CT, BJ Cassio of Flymaster Kennels has Ryman-type Setter pups right now. I can get you his contact info if you are interested.
