I got my tri-color male from Lloyd Murray at Long Gone Setters in Stark, NH: http://www.longgonesetters.com/index.html
Jack is from Long Gone Buckwheat x Grouse Ridge Ivy.

That's interesting - "The road was long, but he knew where he was going..." is taken from "Tinkhamtown" by Corey Ford. Both of Ford's setters Tober and Cider were from Earl Twombly's Coronation Kennels.

Yes, it is also Corey's epitaph on his grave marker. I took my youngest setter to visit with Corey not too long ago.
Corey Ford is my favorite outdoor author. I've put together a collection of all his published works. Mostly first editions, many are signed. I'd like to get a Twombly setter some day.

Highland Llewellin’s in Mechanicsburg, IL, JD Waters and Caren Mansfield. They purchased Glen Roark’s kennel 10 or so years ago. This is Highland Maximus Wind’em aka Max, my 3 year old Lewellin.

I agree with Rick that pose of Max the setter & pheasant would make a nice painting. J.J.
