Great pictures
My favourite bird dogs.
Gorgeous dogs:)
Sharp looking dog.
Most likely my next dog breed. Just confusing to figure out all the "types". My focus will be on a breeder that keeps dogs in the house and foot hunts. That's what I want... regardless of type.

I don't think you can guarantee the color. Both my setters where white and black as pups and as they aged both of ended up with the dark coats. Both parents had black and white coats as well
That's the norm for setters.Quote:

That is very true Tim. My favourite dog too. :)
My setter lies around looking at the Jack Russell and saying, "What is your problem?"
If you want a house friendly bird dog, you cant beat an English Setter. All business in the field and couch potatoes in the house. Mine insists on sleeping in bed with us. Better yet, buy 2.
I have been looking at English Setters for a while now, I think you guys have convinced me, can hang with me outside...camping and hunting, and keep the wife warm on the couch!! Win Win!
Careful with the camping & hanging part. These dogs are usually high prey drive big runners. My dog is either on leash or running/hunting when outdoors.
I can echo what Tim Tufts says "Best house dog ever" and I definitely recommend chatting with Tim about the breed, very knowledgeable.
TurkeyObsessed my Setter is exactly how you describe, doesn't leave my side and is very loyal. When I am outside, in the woods or going to town she always with me. If I am at work she keeps the wife and kids company on the couch or in the the bed. All attached pics are from when I was not home, she doesn't dare get on the couch or bed when I am around. Very smart breed, extremely happy with this dog.
