October Setters

[Big D]

I'm a Lab guy. I looked for breeding from Field Trial stock . However there are differnt field trials. American trials and British trials are not the same thing. British trials are more demanding for brains, where American trials focus on speed. My first British import had over 1,000 retrieves and 80 trips as a therapy dog to Detroit's Children's Hospital. A typical American dog would have had a hard time with the hospital job.

John:

Congratulations! You made a great decision. October Setters has a reputation for breeding skilled hunters, but more important, their setters are beautiful.

Pick a setter like you pick a woman. Take the most beautiful one you can get. Everything else can be taught.
