I am officially in the market for a new puppy. I want to stay away from the breeder route but am not opposed to them either. Looking for a mostly white female that will top out around 42lbs. Does anyone know of any litters or have any family members with a litter due in the next 1-4 months?
Would also consider a gordon.
Feel free to pm me.
My nephew got his Setter up by Mellen WI.
How about a Chihuahua?

Lol. Paint it white with a few black spots and turn it into a bird dog. Then we can talk.
If I was in the market for either a Setter or Pointer puppy I’d contact Jerry Kolter at Northwoods.
He was just getting into trials serious when I was getting out.
I haven’t talked to him in years but a very upstanding guy 20 years ago.
Don’t be afraid of trial breeding. The #1 trait must trialers want is a dog that wants to find birds & then stay on point until handler gets there.
IMHO you should be very very careful shopping Gordons or Irish / Red Setters.
Just to “quirky”.
Right. That’s why I would prefer an English setter. Grew up with a couple of them and finally live in a good place to have one.
Contacted Jerry a few days ago. Waiting for a reply. Curious what he’s charging these days.
Recently got an English Golden Retriever puppy. Last puppy was about 18 years ago. Forgot how much work goes into a new puppy. Wish you well as they can bring much joy into your life as well as a few trying moments too.
