Beauregard of Rebel Ridge - My Setter Pup

[Kentucky Bird Hunter]

Beau is my first setter, having been a lifelong Lab guy. Labs are like the Swiss Army knife of dogs and I've used mine for ducks, upland birds, and grouse, but I am sure enjoying have my first true English Setter bird dog.

Good luck to you, Eric!

I’m sure Dave is learning this fact more and more each day and as the pup gets a year or two on him it will become more and more apparent that setters are in no way like labs and it is unfair to either breed to compare them.

Grace is my first setter after having a couple of labs and a couple of Brittanies.
I love my Gracie dearly but she is not a lab and I made the mistake in her first couple of years of wondering why she wasn’t more like Tobie, my lab of almost 14 years and why Tobie couldn’t have been more like Gracie in other ways.

They are all wonderful dogs. Yes - I would definitely get another Twombly Setter and yes, I would definitely get another lab. They’re just different.
