English Setters for sale
We start 30+ pups/year to evaluate for breeding and only the truly elite are kept for breeding. This level of selectivity is a very rare practice which leaves a number of started English Setters for sale of significantly higher quality than is normally available as a started dog.
Pups are introduced to birds starting at 14-16 weeks. We have ideal grounds and keep approximately 200 Georgia Jumbo quail. They are flown almost every day so they are very strong flying birds. This allows us to turn loose pups and simulate a natural hunting situation. Pups are allowed to chase as we condition them to the gun while in chase mode. We stop the chasing once they are acclimated to gunfire. This phase is completed by 5- 6 months of age. The pups are well socialized | pointing staunchly | introduced to gunfire and most retrieve to hand.
Most prospects will be sold upon completing the puppy program. They are ready to go hunting. Another 8-10 prospects are run on wild birds through the fall. 6-7 of those prospects will be cut over the next year as we complete our evaluation. Most of these will be broke steady to wing and shot or be well on their way to being broke. Read more about our program or watch our videos by clicking these links.
Please Note:
We generally have 10-15 prospects under evaluation. Thay are made available as we cut them from consideration for our breeding program. However, we have a list at all times for these young dogs. The wait is generally 2-6 months. Calls us to begin the process if you are interested in one of our started dogs. It is also possible to select a litter and have us start a pup for you. Photos of some of the young dogs under evaluation are below.
