I know I wouldn't have to worry about you shooting them that is for sure.. I am sorry you do not know the difference between a real irish setter and a red setter you would be surprized alot. Check out the bird doghall of fame sometime you just might see an irish setter in it.. Mine came from imported irish setters at a price tag you surely couldn't afford either. Also keep in mind a brother of the male I own went of overseas for alot bigger priced tag than you or I would care to dream about for a dog..If you do not think that they will run big think again. But like I stated with the comments you have been making Maine wouldn't be allowing you to own a dog period hunting dog or other wise. You have no respect for no one or anything.
