Adding another setter

Are you cool enough to ride in a 97 year old car like Tucker? Side note, we decided to get him a friend. Flew from California to Wisconsin to get Dolly at 8 weeks old. She is now 14 weeks and is the sweetest and calmest setter I've ever seen. One of my wife's Mainecoons isn't too sure about her being in bed with us.

Do setters typically lay down to greet other dogs? Ours is a setter mix and does it to every dog in the neighborhood. My neighbors think I trained him to do it
