canvasback, I don't think that this is a "pissing match", it is no different than the type of double you prefer.
All I was doing was making a reference to how the dogs in George Evans movie looked compared to old pictures of setters, none had the high tail, which again in my opinion, ruined them. You did not see that in old pictures.
Ted, I'm afraid that was not me that made reference to 1880's as being old. I did state old pictures, mainly old photos and old drawings. And I do believe that the first English setter came to America sometime after the Civil War and was imported by a man from Morris Plains, N.J.
trebling, thanks. He did have some Old Hemlock lineage.
Brother Drew, as always thanks for your vast references.
