Google "Field Gordon Setter Breeders" and you'll find some good options. If you check the breeding of American bred Gordons, you'll find Springset in their background (much) more often than not. We've had and hunted over Gordons for nearly 40 years. We've had good luck with the breeders we've researched thoroughly and checked out their sires and dams. You can see something of our Gordons if you search my posts here. Also, Kenny Graft and Ken Hill have Gordons and might offer their advice.
Gordons are unique, and not for everyone. In our experience they generally have better than average noses, adjust their range to the cover, are very "one person/family" oriented, and really like to understand why they are being asked to do the things we ask of them (they are good reasoners).
