Hey, better late than never guys. I've had setters for 35+ years.

Andy, just console yourself that as you age, you learn to appreciate things more (and more deeply).

I know this is probably sacrilege, but I, too, have been a setter lover as long as Harold...even if my setters are, shall we say, a bit on the dark side. Color them however you want, I love a setter's head and tail.

Well I had been on a waiting list for a long time and then got the "call" one was available. I visited her twice and committed to her while my wife and daughter were gone for a week in California. Yeah, that was some discussion over "How could you just buy a $@&ING dog when we already have THREE without asking me???!!" Fast forward and my wife is totally head over heels in love with this creature, so it all worked out.

Dogs have a way, don't they?

You are a lucky man, Andy. My wife quickly fell for my labs over the years. But labs are easy. At eighteen months old, my setter still has us (yes, both of us) on the verge of banishment.
