Never owned but one setter dog. Someone gave "Dan" to me but failed to mention he was deaf. I wondered why he was totally un-biddable until I figured what was wrong with him.

Big solid white dog with beautiful feathering and conformation. My oldest child's first words (he is 40 now) were "HUSH DAN", which I must have hollered out the window a million times.

Dan died when my father was keeping him for a weekend and tossed him a 'gaines-burger'. Dan caught it and choked to death...Geo
