Default RE: English Setters

Setters can be very active high strung dogs or very calm. It depends upon the breeding. But most have a personality.

Are you going to run both springers and setters together? I would be hesitant to do so as flushers can make a pointer learn bad habits that are hard to break. Specifically, steadying point. If the setter goes on point, a flush will hijack the point. The setter will see this as competition until it will think to bump birds is okay.

Seattlesetters,
I was wondering about if you had a litter perhaps a year or two ago. The last pup in the litter went to a non-hunting family because no one wanted it. I recent saw the dog at the dog park and talked with owners. That dog can run. Very stylish point. They said the dog was the best hunter out of the litter and I don't doubt them.
