God bless you and what a beautiful pup. I got my first setter 4 years ago and it is a special breed. I wish I had only ever had setters.

Best of luck to all of you for years to come.

NEhomer

Rest easy Ezzy...and many thanks.

NEhomer

I would be happy to make a donation if the cost of the old website was an issue. This format a serious disappointment.

NEhomer

God bless you and yours Sharon. You have always added dignity, humor and kindness to this place. I joined this site when I was getting a setter pup that just turned 4. This site is a major reason why he's a fine bird dog today. I brought him out with a colleague and his teen son last weekend and Whi...

My setter locked up solid on a dead bird this weekend. It's something he's never done so I'm still wondering if the point wasn't a live bird that was a runner.

NEhomer

I had a Britt pup with a light spot on the nose that disappeared by the time she was two. Just fyi~

NEhomer

Close call but setters gotta setter!

So glad it worked out~

Good luck with that beautiful pup~

NEhomer

Too bad he doesn't have any intensity! :) I love those half turned frozen-in-time points. Reminds me of a pic of my Whip. We were training and he was leaping over the release trap when in mid-air he caught scent, turned mid-flight and stuck to the ground like spiderman on a wall! http://i1383.photob...

NEhomer

Not to mention that for an experienced dog, a little nip with the vibration button and you get their attention just fine.

It seems that voting away behaviors for others that you don't engage in has become too common all around the globe.

NEhomer

It really doesn't matter to me personally how much of a "deal" this pup is. A really well bred prospect with a pedigree that has an inherent value might cost you $500. If you think that is too much, then you need to calculate what the cost of making a poor decision on a dog that might perhaps turn ...

NEhomer

Best of luck Sharon. Hope they have you back in the Rockettes in no time!

NEhomer

Welcome to the forum.

Beautiful pup!

NEhomer

My setter experienced no chaffing at all and he doesn't have the toughest underbelly skin. I think you'll be pleased.

NEhomer

As stated in the thread Sharon linked, I could not be more pleased with the Medota skid plate.

NEhomer

(((Brodie))) ....just before my pops got sick from cancer a little cocker spaniel named sammy needed a home. My folks took him in and he immediately GLUED himself to my dad. Sammy followed him everywhere and my dad loved that little dog like no other he had ever owned. Pops died two years later and ...

NEhomer

It’s going to be a great one too. Just heard from our breeder that we will be picking our GSP up a week earlier than expected. Looking forward to the new addition, although he is gonna wonder about going outside in all this COLD weather to do his business...maybe he’ll learn to get it done quick to...

Have a Great year Everyone!

NEhomer

Beautiful pup....congrats. Gonna be a fun holiday for your family.

Be sure to post pics in the Pup-To-Birddog thread next fall!

NEhomer

My favorite thread....thanks so much for posting these everyone~

NEhomer

I'll repeat my story. Had Brittany's for years. Got my Llewelin setter and regret ever having britts. Loved 'em dearly but Llews are light years ahead imo. How so? First of all, no slight intended to Britts and their owners. I loved my Britts. My Llew has far greater prey drive, is naturally far mo...

Nice.

Just add 12 gauge, BB shot, meat slicer, jerky ingredients and dehydrator!

NEhomer

Bowls on the floor. Never seemed to inhibit eating in any way. Jack Russell fed in one room and the door shut until the setter is finished eating in the other room , otherwise big fights. :roll: Yorkshire Terrier locked in another room until the setter is finished eating. Otherwise, yorkie runs the...

Amen Featherfinder. Best to you and yours as well.

NEhomer

Just beautiful! They really are a dream come true.

Thanks for posting~

NEhomer

What a terrific story and congrats on licking cancer.

NEhomer

I loved this thread and would like to see others contribute.

My Whip turned three years old today.

NEhomer

It's a very nice product wolski, you won't regret it. Cripes, mine was less than $40.00 from an ebay place to boot.

NEhomer

At the advice of someone here I bought the Mendota Skid Plate for my setter this year and I couldn't be more pleased. I think it would meet the needs you stated. https://www.google.com/search?q=Mendota+dog+skid+plate&safe=active&rlz=1C1FGGD_enUS583US583&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEhpDi2uL...

Have a great trip....looking forward to pics~

NEhomer

That's a heck of a biography Wiley!

Welcome~

NEhomer

Have a great holiday everyone. I'm grateful for the outdoors and I'm grateful for this site. A few years ago I had a pup and a dream and just this afternoon, my 3 year old setter pointed up a bird for me and I have to go clean it after dinner.

So many terrific people here...thanks.

NEhomer

Get a GPS.

Today.

NEhomer

Eventually you're going to buy a GPS anyway so get one now.

I would pay 5 times the cost of my Alpha 100 and T15 collar.

NEhomer

Yeah, he's a beauty like yours.

A setter on point with that beautiful tail flagging his location is a sight to see~

NEhomer

Yay!

Nice pic too~

NEhomer

They're still too big Ffinder.

Switch to pixels and set it no higher than 700.

NEhomer

I use imgur. It's really simple, free and fast. The thing is to edit the size of the pic before saving
it to imgur if you're gonna post it.

Set to pixels in your photo editing program, make the highest Hor/Ver value 700.

simple

NEhomer

Funny, NEHomer, I too had Brittanys for many years - FT champions as well as wonderful gun dogs. My sentiments echo yours. I would not pick a Brittany over a setter today. Wish I had started with setters day one. Brittanys are nice dogs but I've been spoiled and there's no going back. Wow. ...and w...

NEhomer

The breed debate goes on and on but for the record, I had two britts and I wish now that I had chosen setters. My current dog is light years ahead of my brittanys.

NEhomer

My setter turns 3 in December and I'm alarmingly aware of how fast a decade goes by.

Great vid Sharon....thanks.

NEhomer

Mendota skid plate. Filson also makes a tough one. I have never had any problem with a dog wearing a skid plate. My dog's cheapo vest was shot so after reading this thread I went on ebay and picked up a Mendota skid plate. It arrived yesterday; nicely made and fits securely....he was only disappoin...

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your beautiful pup.

....biggest trick to training is knowing when to stop!

NEhomer

Nice...thanks for posting.

NEhomer

Beautiful pup.

He's cursing check cords and fences!

NEhomer

Oh, ok, My Llew is from Kyle Warren of Paint River Llewellins. I believe he got his sire from Scott and Michelle in the UP.
