Very nice! We've had the privilege of hunting in similar terrain with our Brittanys. It is a lot of fun. Give that dog a pat for me . . . he did a nice job for you.
Good to see you pup knows he has worked in the fashion you wanted him to. You and i know that, if you gave him time, he could pin both of those birds {from 15-35 ft ?} for you to block them and force them to fly into the wind for a better shot. Nice to watch a dog happy with the quality of his handler and pack mate.
Great video! Effectively, the english setter is endowed with a redoubtable and murderous effectiveness. And it is one of the reasons for that they choose it. Greetings from France!!!
finally a nice setter from outside Italy! Congratulation, beautifull dog, and great instinct! I love setter like yours! I live in Canada and when I hunt I love to do it with my two setters, both from Italy. Now I' m trying to promote the european setter stile in America... very hard to make them understand! I never had the chance to hunt ptarmigan, but it always been my dream! Can I know the genetic of this dog? I have the feeling that it have some Italian blood line. Thanks
Hi. Yes.......it does a set on a point on a bird.....to make a shooting moment.....if you shoot the bird. But this si just a training moment so I don´t shoot the bird. Setter set the bird.....for shootingmoment. best regards
Hi. Well...when you have only one dog and it is a Champion english setter Odin. Yu don´t need a Lab. I use my champ in duck and geese hunting as well as ptarmigan and grouse. Best regards Oddur Örvar
@claytonamore13 German shorthairs can be a bit stubborn, true, and need to well understand the hunting\pointing\hold after shot\mark the bird down\and wait to re-register if there is a second warm body scent to point\take a hand direction mark etrieve to two handed 'take'. But i have seen and trained really good ones. But far prefer Orange Beltons all the time. They are just more personable for my taste.
Hi. There is not allowed to shoot these birds 11 months evry year. We may only shoot in 1 mounth. The other time of the year we just train the dog to find the birds, rais it to the wings and shoot. The dog have to be steady in the hunting moment. This training is all aboute that. Best regards from iceland Oddur Örvar
To get first prmie in field trial, dog have to flush birds by command. That´s why I train dog like this one. Dog that dosen´t flush the bird by command won´t get first premie.
@rockybirddog @rockybirddog Hi Rocky. You have probably a good germans there. Well it just a game for supersetters to retrive geeses. Take a look: nesk.no/index.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=9&pid=1753&slideshow=5000 Best regards

Oh that makes sense! Thanks :)
Is that crouch called a set? Is that why it is called setter?
