Ryen, they are not being bred due to the people behind the setters, not the dogs themselves. I think there would be enough interest for a litter every so often. Obviously if you pumped out puppies like the trademe vizsla/gsp crowd then you will have trouble selling them, but from what I have gathered talking to people there is always moderate demand for a well bred working pointer or setter

That is it when you talk to ES breeders.
EL b you seem to be planning a few litters but have you been involved with trying to sell a litter in NZ yet?
I have 8 dead keen but that is after about 3 years of networking.
The good setters in nz naturally adjust there rang depending on cover so there should be no reason to breed a slower dog really.
