Who We Are
Twenty Five years ago I went on a mission to find an outstanding personal gun dog. I had owned English Pointers in the past and was always impressed with their drive and determination to find game, but I was not always satisfied with their social skills. I therefore set out to find the best English Setter around, scouring the entire Southeast on the phone and on the road in search of a single bird dog. I purchased many disappointments before finding Doll.
From the frustrations of my search came the impetus to establish my own kennel and provide a service to others looking to purchase an English Setter as a pet, a bird hunting companion, or field winner. In the 20 since our inception, we have placed hundreds of English Setters and have hunted upland game in seven states. All sires and dams are hand-picked, and are all proven in the field or on the circuit. We breed for desire to point, desire to hunt, intelligence, willingness to please, and most importantly for nose. At Southern Setters you have a reliable source of not only great bird dogs but great hunting companions.
