Why are DeCoverly English Setters Excellent Hunting Dogs? | November 2009

At DeCoverly Kennels we selectively breed in the Ryman tradition for Dual English Setters which focuses on natural hunting instincts as well as a correct physical appearance in accordance with the breed standard.  These instincts are comprised of scenting ability, intelligence to learn how to handle birds, and pointing instinct.    Our English Setters will not just go running off in an effort to break the bird.  In fact, an English Setter from DeCoverly Kennels has such an ideal temperament, that it is able to maintain its cool until it “sets” the bird.  It then waits patiently for the gun.  Talk about a Gentlemen’s Shooting Dog!
