This was on a bird hunter FB page. I just thought it was funny.

"I’m looking for a 12-18 month started English setter. Can be female or male, and will be a family and hunting dog: I’d appreciate any pointers your guys could give me. Thanks! "

The lockdown has you bored? LOL...

That's good! LOL

Over 60 years I've had WPGs, GSHs, English Setters, Llewellin Setters, and an English Pointer.

The Wirehaired Pointing Griffons are great versitile dogs who strike a strong loyalty with a family. English breed dogs are aloof, except for the Llewellins. They are an easy bond. All the mentioned breeds I had hunted well. The pointers and griffons more so. I have a griffon and two LLewellins now, one being an older dog, and the other a young strong bozo.

I had an English setter that was bird crazy, but hard headed. The pointers were bird machines!

If I were getting a dog as a younger guy that setter might be a good choice, but I'd get a griffon, knowing what I now know.

I hope I confused the hell out of you.
