Where does your setter sleep? This guy cries all night if he’s apart from my husband. He is 18 months old so still just a pup. The problem is if we let him sleep in our room he “checks in” with us several times a night with a friendly nose kiss.

I’ve had a busy work schedule as of late, but had today off. Cuddles with Mya are in order.

Took GCR out to train on birds for the first time. She was phenomenal and handled birds and gunshots better than I could’ve hoped for the first time.

I’m definitely going to have to keep an eye on her and not let her eat any birds. She found recently dead tweety bird and I had pulled it out of her gullet by the legs.

Looking for feedback, we have our first hunting dog narrowed down to French britts or an English setter .

The dog will be hunting CRP in the Midwest for pheasants, it will almost always be the only dog hunting. I prefer a dog that works fairly close as I take older people that don’t move quite as fast hunting with me.

The dog will also be indoors and we like the absolute most chill dog indoors possible.

The dog will have the opportunity to exercise for hours and hours a day.

The setter breeder I’m speaking with has a litter who he says our bred to work closer than your normal setter, and the breeder of the Britney’s says they work fairly close.

Wondered if anybody had an opinion which I realize I’m posting in a setter reddit. But if you have experience with both, I would love the feedback. All my friends have. GSP’s I don’t personally know anybody in my area that has either breed of a dog.

Hi, we have a 6 months old female setter. We just bought her a tractive device and noticed she is almost 3X more active than similar dogs when it comes to both sex, age, weight and breed. Should we be more stressed about this? We never push her and try to help her relax as well.

Gracie is enjoying her daily sunshine nap. She usually sits on the patio furniture but it rained yesterday and I set the cushions upright in the sun.

You know this look very well 😁

My 1.25 year old setter is ready to run constantly. I posted a few months ago about her allergies and weight gain issue but she's on Apoquel and doing OK. I made this contraption to allow her to run with me while I bike and it's awesome! She can go at least 15-20 mph and is practically pulling me for the first 20 minutes.

Big question: how far/fast should we go? I don't want to push it but she loves the exercise. Also, can she learn commands like a horse (whoa, gee, haw, etc)?

Our rescue (3 y.o.) who we’ve had for about 3 months has recently started howling throughout the day when we’re at work. Our neighbor sent us a sweet text, we’re looking into separation anxiety training (he’s howling at nothing) - but wanted to see if anyone else bas experienced this with setters?

My vet recommended neutering my English Setter at 6 months old, but a lot of the research I’ve done suggests waiting longer, especially for larger breeds.

I’m a little confused about why my vet would recommend 6 months when so much of what I’ve read suggests waiting until they’re more physically mature. I want to make sure I’m making the best decision for my dog’s long-term health and development.

We don't get out enough hunting with the boys because LIFE, but they do go to a hunting kennel when we travel and get on birds. This is both of them from the past weekend.

Didn't find any grouse today, but can't beat a morning out in the mountains.

Her favorite spot when I get home from work 💕
