I have to say that I am very impressed with the dog I received from this breeder. This is the eight setter I have owned, and the easiest to train. After only two weeks he is housebroken. I used a trick to do this; I placed a cow bell on the front door and every time I took him out I rang the bell. Now when he wants to go out he rings the bell, WOW. He is very loving and likes to sit in my lap . He is getting really good about coming when he is called even off leash in the woods. This breeder has a very good understanding of beauty, birding, and brains.
