That, from a man who knows setters better than anyone else I know - Thanks Legh!

He has taken to training very well. He is totally gun-broke, holds points steady to wing and shot, and retrieves OK for a young dog. He is whistle-broke, and we've started on Whoa-breaking. My wife is happy that he is doing very well at heel. Coming from a field dog like Shadow Oak Bo, he's a big runner and he has a ton of energy, so we get a big run most every morning on the farm, and then a big play time in the evening at our local dog park.
Rebel Ridge is a local guy's private kennel here in Kentucky, and I have been working Beau out quite a bit at Gasper River Kennels (Setters and GSP's), also here in south central Kentucky.
I love this guy, and can't wait for this fall's grouse season.

Sorry, Dave...I got off the thread. Your pup is a beautiful one. I especially like the coloring of his head. It's always nice to have a beautiful dog and gun to look at when the hunting is slow.
