I would like to get an English Setter and would appreciate any pros and cons of breeders that you know. I would like a dog for hunting grouse, woodcock, and maybe a pheasant hunt every few years. I need soemthing that would hunt fairly close and slow.

I am in northern MN and ideally would like to find a puppy in MN, WI, or IA, but open to anything. Been looking at web sites, but have no idea who is good for me. In the past I have owned A LOT of dogs, but they were running dogs, tree dogs, and cow dogs. This will be my first bird dog. Not looking to spend the price of a new double shotgun here, just want a puppy out of solid hunting stock.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
