You might want to go the "The Red Setter field Trial Club" And see what's around. American Field group but smaller dogs Less hair and full of brains. I have three. 10 yr old male and one of his son's and daughter's. Stormy is about 50# if I remember right his son a bit bigger. His daughter, Abby, might make 40# but have never weighted her. The male pup's mom I had, Sis was about Abby's size. As for the hair, Stormy was 10 in last Oct and has never had a haircut. Hair seems harder than E Setter hair and while they do pick up burrs, not even close to what my E Setters did!

Stormy



Snicker



Abby

Good looking setters!

X2 ... If you're not going to use it for water fowl, buy a smooth coat PP. Very clean dogs, very little shedding. Mine is 10yrs old. I've never brushed him. Very biddable. Good with kids and other folks. Kinda goofy but serious when needed.

Damn Don those are fine looking dogs.mb

How about a Scottie? They never quit.



Get two; one for you and one for your wife.

I used to run labs when the waterfowl hunting was good. When it got lousy I switched to English setters and never looked back. My last two setters--- The blue belton)male) is a Decoverly dog, he tipped the scale at 100 lbs. The Orange Belton(female)m is frome from Laural Mt Kennel in the UP of Michigan. Both lived in the house and were fantastic hunters and great friends. I lost the Male several years back. The I ran the femal at my clubs annual youth phesant hunt in Dec and she made a lot of kidds happy by pointing a ton of ringnecks.

My favorite is the Wire Hair Visula. Not common like the short hair, very calm, all weather, smart and great family dog.

My daughter has a Wire Hair Viszla.
Her's was the first of that breed I'd ever heard of.
