I' m excited because I think one of my young English Setter bitches may be pregnant. About two weeks ago, she hooked up with the stud dog four times and now she has gained about three pounds and is eating like there' s no tomorrow. I did over a year of research to get this mating done, and I' ve had to wait two years for it to happen, so with three years invested I am hoping everything turns out ok.

If the breeding did take, the pups will be some of the best-bred English Setter birddogs on the West Coast, suitable for hunting all types of wild gamebirds, and they should be perfect for walking field trials. The mom and dad are also awesome house pets. I' ll keep everyone posted as to her progress. It doesn' t get any better than this!!!
