I cant vouch for everyone on the sights, but they might get you headed in the right direction.

I currently hunt with 2 Irish Setters and would be more than happy to help you out. I flew mine in from Wisconsin at Smyths Irish Setters and if you want an opion on which lines PM me andI will help you out. Also here is another place I had found afterwards..I had bred 2 litters and that is all i will be breeding though they went rather quickly.. Good Luck with what you decide.

I borrowed this line from the site mentioned above under woodcock and grouse hunting..

"had a bird nailed within minutes of our arrival at the first covert and before the day ended, we'd experienced an astonishing total of 52 flushes - 44 woodcock and 8 grouse - fully two thirds of which had been pointed by the well-mannered Setter.
We'd hunted only about six hours, two in the morning and four in the afternoon. If you do the math on that, it's a bird moved, on average, every seven minutes!..."

Here is a pic of one of my Irish Setters " Rusty " You would need to decide what you want though. The irish or the Red Setter as they are 2 different dogs..

Did you get your pup yet? How are you making out with it? Good i hope. Any way I can help you out let me know..
