No John, They all have loving homes waiting for them. Only two of them are hunting families - the others simply want a setter as a companion dog for their kids or for themselves... and that's not a bad thing at all. Setters make wonderful house pets and terrific therapy dogs. Legh and Jenn Higgins (owners of Coronation Kennels where we got Grace, and of Burdock, Grace's 'boyfriend' { https://www.twomblysetters.com }) bring several of their Twombly Setters to area senior centers, nursing homes, and pediatric hospitals to brighten the days of the patients there.
Best, Dean

Not because I think they're better than the other breeds,
