Thanks for your interest in my Red Setters. These red setters make very good hunting dogs as well as excellent companions.  The mother, Queen, is a sweetheart.  She's calm, well mannered and attentive.  But when she's in the field, she's all business.  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.

 

 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 and how much room will this pup have at home.  I like to see these dogs go to home with plenty of yard room and know that the owners will hunt this dog.  That's what their made for. We can ship our pups to major airports .

 

If you have any more questions please write or call.

Thanks,

Randall Davis
