That is one big britt oris myeyes deceiving me?
Everyone has their favorites. There isn't one do-it-all dog that will satify everybody. Fora strictly upland bird hunter like me,I don't want the dog go off on a tangent when crossing rabbit scent.My Llewellin setter suits me. I've hunted behind britts, english pointers, other setters but the desire on this dog out does them all plus she has a good nose. Typical of the breed. Only drawbacks vs. normal setters is the style and they don't run as much.
I've gotten good comments from other hunters. Last weekend, she surprised anotherhunter by pointing in an areawhere their lab and springer already went through. Sure enough, a rooster pops up (30' away) and they shot it. I usually find birds where others have gone through. The only places I won't hunt is when the hunter is running 3 or 4 springers.
