Re: They finally caught him. Roysetters
Quill, I think UJ caters to a very select group. It is VERY heavily moderated and as a result some very, very, good threads get post holed before they have been given the chance to ever fully develop. There is rarely any useful training info posted there. It is mainly a social board. But, it's Brad...

English setters in the AKC are pretty dogs but I probably would not own a "dual" english setter - not athletic enough for me - they have a tendency to run slow and lopey to me.
