The Robertsons are the only folks who have any straws from Sunrise.

My pup is from the "Tekoa Mountain Sunrise" line as well. She is gorgeous and the birdest dog I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Seattle, when the time comes I would like to talk with you about breeding. I am trainer and labradorbreeder but I am so smitten with this little dog I can see myself becoming a convert to setters. I don't know much about their lines and would love some coaching in this area. Are you running your dogs in field trials? if so where?

I now have a couple of prospects that are going to giving the grouse woods of MI and VT a try...
One thing I do know quite a bit about is setter lines and breeding. I'd be happy to talk...just let me know!

That would be great! I feel like a newbie again with setters, I know labs like no bodies business but not so much on setters.
I do know I just love this little girl I picked up in October, birdest dog I think I have ever seen and no problems with the heavy cover at all I have never seen a pup throw itself into wild rose patches with such ferver.
So you are in Seattle?

RE: English Setters
So when you breed what are you looking for?
Most people breed acording to paperwork and i think that is wrong.
Brains and ability should be what you concentrate on.
And as Always what do you want
an All-Age Dog
Shooting Dog
or Hunting compainion/ Family pet

Wrong
Teoka Mt. Sunrise is a 11X Ch. and Never won A Nationl Champion Title
Teoka Mtn Sunrise is 11x grand national champion.

By all expert accounts, Sunrise should have won one of the times he ran, but he had a bit too much hair for the judges taste.

If a dog shows all these traits and is nice-looking, classy, stylish on point and fast on the ground, it might make it to the evaluation stage for breeding.

RE: English Setters
They are awesome dogs!!!! I have one and use him on pheasants with awesome success. You cannot find a friendlier family dog either. My dog is not aggressive at all and gets along with everything. They have awesome hunting skills and great temperament.
