Be careful if you get anEnglish Setter...they will break your heart when they leave you. I have had two (Jill and Susie), both were wonderful dogs, not just from a hunting standpoint, but they were like members of the family. I just lost Susie on 11/30. Found out she had cancer on Monday of that week, confirmed on Tues, had surgery at a specialist on Thursday and passed away Thursday night. I cried like a baby. I was devastated. She looked like the post two above this one, the dog with the orange patch on her right eye. Beautiful dog, wonderful personality, loved to hunt. Both were from NSTRA stock, bothranged out but kept close enough most of the time. Always glad to see you, always wagging their tails,brightened your day every time you went in the back yard. If you like to bird hunt, and you want a dog that will love you more than you love her, that has no equal in sporting dogs on looks or class (sorry other dog owners) and that will be one of your best hunting buddies and like apart of the family, get an English Setter. But treasure each day you have her, because no matter how long you get, it won't be long enough.
