Elkhorn Gun Dogs updated 07/30/10 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Member of the National Red Setter Field Trial Club ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our mission is to provide quality gun dogs to upland hunters that will enhance the purist experience of the sport. In doing so, we will deal with integrity and honesty, focusing on your satisfaction as a priority. News Flash:
AKC and FDSB litter whelped from Judy bred to Jericho, had ten puppies on 6/25/10. Eight males and two females. Taking deposit now. Jericho son of 3XCh. National Red Setter Champion Chaparral, is an outside male from Pine Hollow Ranch-Don and Linda Beauchamp. Click here for new photos.
These red setters make very good hunting dogs as well as excellent companions. A very thorough hunter that ranges out to around eighty yards. That's a good thing about red setters, you don't have to hunt for them when hunting birds. As far as the male/female choice, it's been my experience that males are just as good as females in all aspects. Loyalty, attention, hunting, etc. Males seem to have a bit more tenacity when in the field, staying in the hunt until you're ready to go home. Then it seems they flip a switch and become your loving buddy, it's quite incredible. We release our pups at eight weeks old. Generally they have a brief exposure to live birds, smelling them in the cages, playing with a wing on the string, and sometimes mouthing a dead bird to get the "feel" of it. It's remarkable to see a small pup, playing and bounding about, then come to a bird in a cage and they stop, drink in this wonderful scent and it's like a light bulb comes on. The breeding and genetic ancestry kicks in. They focus their attention to it and seem to know this is their purpose in life. At this point I ask all my customers about their hunting situations and style.
