how much is the pup/dog going to cost, over 12k already
Pup 1000 pound sterling plus extras -I am seeking out some quotes from the UK as I now understand the one I have could well be excessive , man it feels that way thats for sure .The pup has got the best heritage of dogs behind it so lets hope it produces some good pups for the future of our Setters .
Rather than importing you could try using one of the nz setters.Quote:

There is also Noel and ians Sharnberry pups also.
All would be worthy of breeding. and there are some great stud dogs here also.
save the 12k and start your own breeding programme from that.
Just my thoughts..
If they haven't bred yet why? Id rather breed and get more setters out there..Im lucky too have a partner in this import to go 50/50.we will breed one year after the import
they are young and proving themselves first!Quote:

Just sayin...take it for what it's worth
2-3yrs old.
Just because they are imported does not make them great dogs. They are being watched to demonstrate that they are doing what they can and should be able to do. Regarding standard, most of those involved have done far far more trialing/dog work than you or i.
Dogs:
Vårhaugens Gus
Frozen Woody straws Ch. Chywoon Entrepreneur of Jonsmae
Frozen straws Gameridge Elysian i think. 100% Sharnberry
Northstream and Blackfield dogs.
The only dogs trialing are Ian's that I know .James F is doing pro DOC work with Kiwi's -spoke to him and had a great chat a few days ago-he is still bringing on his imported bitch ,wait and see but in saying that his work needs a slower paced animal .
Gus , not doing anything except hunting I think -I don't know the guy personally but have spoken together .Skids hunting with you so you would know his dogs
I don't really know to many more though that are proving there stuff and when I say that I mean for all to see which generally means you would need to be trialing or hunting with someone .
I just got off the phone to the UK trying to organize a cheaper transport rate -figures crossed .
Also got off the phone to the breeder over there .He was saying he has several dogs in his kennels and after a year he knows if they stay or go and none go more than 6 years there before being passed onto friends to make room for the next lot .
EL B, Ill throw this back at you, what has your dog done to prove its worth being a sire, apart from 1 week up north with me( 7 yrs ago), who else has seen your dog work.
I haven't decided if he will be until he proves him self more at trials
In fact when we breed it will be to the best working dog with a good lines we can find,,that would be the smart thing to do
You have been to one trial EL. Ian is the only one trialing this year. The others have been involved in trialing for years, but yes they are not trialing now due to factors ie location and work.....
I haven't seen Ian at a trial in a long time.Quote:
