Phil, there is a small, but growing number of folks that use their setters as versatile dogs. This is almost exclusively a result of breeding programs using NAVHDA as the means of measuring the success of their programs and basis of their breeding decisions. However, as a breed, I wouldn't say they are considered versatile.
