PM me your email address if you might be interested in an adult setter of excellent breeding. Well trained but, lived in kennel most of life so unlikely to be a great house pet.
I'm only interested in Pointers and a dog that can't also be a house dog won't work either.
I want a dog with fire in its heart. A dog that can light up the landscape when wanted/needed but can come in close when told to or better still is smart enough to figure that out based on terrain. I want a dog that can hunt to objectives, not just run or waste time huffing in areas that are likely going to be unproductive. The dog has to get along with my other two, it has to not have a problem with my wife's cats, and it absolutely with no room for mistakes must be able to handle a wily toddler. The dog has to not be afraid of cover, it has to be so eager to find birds it will shred itself doing so.
It needs to be a dog that is power in motion but when it locates a bird, it's like time stops.
I am not afraid of up close field trial breedings but such breedings must also come from dogs that both hunt and trial.
The dog would also preferably be a male and a year old or younger.
I have a line in mind, but it's in the Midwest so I'm looking around at what's closer.
I'm not against rescues either, but it has to be the right dog.
And most of all, I am not in a hurry.
