Exclusively Setters

Home for Irish Setter Lovers Around the World

Here is the dog, which has always been an enthusiastic hunter on his own initiative. Thanks to that, man integrates the dog’s hunting into his own, and so raises hunting to its most complex and perfect form. This achievement was to hunting what the discovery of the polyphony was to music. In fact, with the addition of dogs, hunting acquires a certain kind of symphonic majesty.

Thanks for sharing that, Rob. What a lovely piece of writing.
This is taking the art of hunting with a dog to the highest spheres... Must be sad, having to hunt when you don't have a setter by your side:-))
