It does not have to be apuupy, a bitch would be prefered

Hi Had you thought about a rescue English Setter from the English Setter Rescue Association? I do not know which part of the country you are from but you may like to contect coleen@seaville.freeserve.co.uk who is in the north but could direct you to a breed rescue in any part of the country or to a responsible breeder. There is a web site too. Hope this helps
