Need Name for English Setter Male Pup

[Wilmurt]

My Llewellin's name is Highland Maximus Wind'em and we call him Max. Also, I'm in the Falmouth, MA area and would love an invitation to shoot clays in Plymouth. Would also be interested to hook up this Fall for pheasants/quail at Crane Wlldlife Mangement Area. Send PM with your contact info and let's get introduced.

I think that a dog should earn their name. Had a lab that was named Holly that came from Hollywood S.C. A deerhound that rode out a hurricane in Gulfport, Miss. that became Gulfport. A Boykin that was B B ( not after the blues singer) Someone said that the pup was much larger than a B B. Pointers called Lulubell, Sam, Kate. Am down to a Boykin called Bay( short for baby girl) She picked over 375 birds as a 2 year old. Am retired and hunt alot and when not shooting, we pick up for tower shoots at Prairie Wildlife. Hunting is better with Parker and dog.

I couldn't agree more. When I had the litter Gunner came from I was playing with them in the basement. One was missing. I searched around and there was the first borne sniffing at the open gun safe, hence the name Gunner.

A name should fit the individual dog.

Best names for field setters have a strong "R" as it carries farther in the field. My first setters ere named related to their Irish ancestry Murphy, Riley but my current Llewellin has a dubious ancestry so I chose to just call him Charlie.

Shadow Oak Bo, Orange & White English Setter, won the 2013 and 2014 Grand Nat'l Championship held at Ames Plantation Grand Junction Tenn. First time an English Setter has won back to back since 1903. Can't see how you could go wrong with the name "BO". Check out the article about BO in Garden & Gun.

My pup's name will be 'Brady'

I just read about Bo in Sporting Classics.

Good luck to you and Brady, I'm sure you'll make a great team.

Allen be careful. Call your dog in a crowd around here and half the dogs and kids will come.Good luck and good hunting.
