RE: which breed of dog?
I have three setters. Two from havelock setters and one pup from the two of them. My male a little slower to learn than my female(she could not be bought). The female and pup are house dogs and are the best. My female is so fun to watch in the field, and a joy in the home. the pup is 11 weeks old, he is crate trained , he is 99% potty trained(has not had a accident in the house in 2 weeks,but would not leave him alone just yet), knows his name and what NO means. Basically they are smart, the quiet temperment you would like in the house, and the good onesare as hard charging as you need. Every breed has there ups and downs and the setter i guess is the hair. Well i let my dogs clean themselves up, and only help around the ears. Lastly friends, there is nothing like pulling your dog from your daughters bed, making a small drive to the field and watching an animal do everything in there capabilities to please and huntfor the one carrying the gun. My vote, a setter, an english setter.
