Mike, your boy is sure one of the best looking, biddable dogs I've ever met. The way he rests his head on the window sill longing to get outside just kills me. What a sweet creature.

Hey, hey, Mike, let’s not get carried away here. I said “setter” and they come in several different versions. 😇 (And some are so special they carry your family name.)

What a handsome setter, Andy? Congratulations!

Thank you Victor

Good bird dogs get along -- why can't we all? Walk in on a point by any of these and tell me you don't get goosebumps...

I wouldn't get goosebumps, I'd get birds retrieved to hand!!

Hmmm…maybe that’s why I miss so much.

Andy,
You got yourself a beautiful girl there. I bet you are looking forward to the upcoming season. Setters are beautiful dogs but often wonder how much time is actually spent on grooming? I am a GSP guy myself. As with a lab there is no coat maintenance after pounding the uplands for a day. Can Dean or Harold and whomever else give me a honest opinion of a few minutes brushing after a hunt and so on? How about how often they are sent to the groomers each year?
