Gun Dog Forum

If a dual type dog is what you might be considering do a google search for "Ryman English Setters", this should give you a good selection of breeders raising the dual type dogs.

Thanks for the help guys. It is not that I don't like the run but what we have to hunt just doesn't fit the dog. It is truly amazing what can be bred into a good dog when it is done properly. This guy is like a well oiled machine, Desire, prey drive, and the physical traits that make all this possib...

Hey Kevin, good to here from you. Wish we could make it to the NI but that trip would cut into our hunting budget severely the way things are. If it was timed so the hunting season followed immediatly it could more easily justify the expense. I guess I did a pretty good job of describing Duke. Thank...

He was bred and well started on pheasant in central Kansas running on wild birds till 20 weeks old. There are 24 champions and 7 hall of fame dogs in his 5 ...
