I've got a smaller orange belton. He's a hard working, classy gundog. He's 7yrs old, and one hell of a grouse and woodcock dog. He loves people too. At camp he is happy to snuggle with whoever is on the couch closest to the fireplace. Good luck getting him off your lap.

As happy as I've been with him, I don't know (doubt) my next dog will be a setter. I started with springers, and love shooting over a well trained flushing dog. I'm considering getting a lab as well. Of course, after Fridays performance, 9 grouse and 5 woodcock contacts in about 3 1/2 hours ( exellent for late season in Massachusetts), it's hard to consider another breed. I must admit; I've been intruiged by the red/Irish setters. Hmmm.....??
