Why are DeCoverly English Setters Excellent Hunting Dogs?

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

At DeCoverly Kennels we selectively breed in the Ryman tradition for Dual English Setters which focuses on natural hunting instincts as well as a correct physical appearance in accordance with the breed standard.  These instincts are comprised of scenting ability, intelligence to learn how to handle birds, and pointing instinct.    Our English Setters will not just go running off in an effort to break the bird.  In fact, an English Setter from DeCoverly Kennels has such an ideal temperament, that it is able to maintain its cool until it “sets” the bird.  It then waits patiently for the gun.  Talk about a Gentlemen’s Shooting Dog!

What is a DeCoverly Dual English Setter?

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Our Dual English Setters stem from the legendary kennel of George Ryman.  These English setters are not like other Setters.  They carry the label “Dual” because of their astonishingly complementary makeup which allows for an uncanny hunting ability, as well as an amazing  physical appearance and structure.  Furthering the desirable traits of these English Setters is the fact that they have wonderful personality and temperament, which makes them very suitable as pets as well.
