Gundog Training Forum

I recently had the chance to watch working setters out on the grouse beautiful dogs very interesting to watch how they are worked handled etc would be great to see more setters working

Unfortunately, U.K. shooting is very driven orientated these days so the opportunity to shoot over the pointing breeds, or see them working outside of beating, is very limited. The spring and autumn field trial circuits would probably be your best opportunity of seeing pointers and setters working, although it’s a bit stop/starty compared with shooting over them. Failing that you could tag along with someone on a grouse count.
