October Setters

[John B White]

Curious if anyone owns one of their dogs? Interested in firsthand knowledge/ experience of their dogs in the field.

I recently sent a puppy deposit and am on the end of a long list. I like what I’ve seen and read and intend to visit soon to see them in action.

My trusty buddy, Rusty, will be turning 14 in March and I’m just now almost able to keep up with him in the field, lol.

I can’t imagine not having a dog to train, hunt and fawn over. Hoping for something that still actively seeks objective and maintains contact while not ranging as far as the field trial setters that attracted me as a younger man. An older gentleman’s hunting companion, if you will.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

Thrive!
