Meet the breeder
I'm Jessica C., the breeder behind McFella’s Gun Dogs located in Windham, CT. Our setters are versatile hunting dogs. They swim, they have a natural retrieve, drive, desire, and sweat temperaments. They hunt with high intensity and style. Our setters compete in hunt tests, HRC hunt tests, and NAVHDA. Our Labs are just as versatile for those who love to pheasant hunt and waterfowl. Our labs have a unique way of pinning a pheasant scent. In the water they swim through anything.
Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
As a kid I had always wanted my own line of setters and because of my Setter McFella I got what I wanted. McFella hunted with style and grace. He was used as a guide dog for pheasant, duck, and goose. I ran McFella in NAVHA events which led him to compete in Invitationals. He was my unicorn dog. My line carries McFellas grandparents.What makes your program special?
