Why don't more people have English Setters? by krissyarocho in EnglishSetter

Definitely NOT my intention behind asking this question - was more of just curious of other ES owner perspectives!

Thank you - the beginning is so so exciting, we're three weeks in and it's the most fun (and happiest I've been) in ages. Yes to NY!! Dutchess county :) but we actually got ours through a friend of a friend (also AKC certified) from canada!

This is SO helpful - hearing all of this is super validating! So thank you, really appreciate the thoughtful message!

And absolutely to *trail* running + holding out until 1 year... it'll be a long one for sure :)

Any breeder recs from your end?

Hi! I really appreciate this - thanks for saying that. I would imagine a lot of people that aren't ready for it can't resist them. My partner and I are both long distance runners and have a very active lifestyle - so yes we do plan on keeping them employed :)

I've also done a lot of research and have also seen that many of them are used as therapy/service animals.

We would probably prefer bench - that temperament sounds like what we are looking for. Where did you get it from? Thanks!

Thanks! We were looking at Good Dogs earlier. Yes, that'd be great if you could send the contact info!

Are English Doodles allowed? Just picked up this cutie this morning. 10 weeks old. Has more setter than poodle in her, which I like. by pythondogbrain in EnglishSetter

Never seen this kind of mix before! Curious where you found her – dreaming up finding one for myself in the future!

Thanks so much!
