Alfred,

I've had Gordons since 1986; last year I decided to try a Red Setter. She's only 16 months now, but just seems to have a little different attitude. We can't buy any toys except for a round donut otherwise they are destroyed in 2-3 hours. She did pretty good her first year hunting. I'm ready for Oct to get here. Belle (the Gordon) will be on her ninth season this year. Belle is the best dog we have had--so well adapted to the home and hunting.

Ken

A red and black brace -- what a nice mix!

Alfred and Ken, Are you familiar with the sporting dog writer, Horace Lytle? He had a Red Setter, quite a famous dog as I recall (Smada Bird was the dog's name...if memory serves). He authored quite a few (very good) books during the 1920-30s. If you are not acquainted with Lytle, he's worth a read.

Here are two images of Hannah from last season. She found and pointed a lot of Woodcock for me.
