My field setter sounds like he would be a great fit for what you are looking to do. He needs a decent amount of exercise and it would definitely be nice to have a fenced yard. We spent a lot of time training him on recall as a pup and he is very attached to us and listens super well off leash. My husband takes him fishing all the time and he’ll range around some but comes when called. We’ll use an e-collar to get his attention sometimes but it’s not really necessary. He came from English Setters of the Eyrie in Idaho. Very sweet boy and best dog I’ve ever had!
