[edit] odd comment?
Moved from main page:
I have owned a English Setter and a Gordon Setter. In my experience both dogs has a similar nature, habitus and personality. My comments about the Gordon setter equally apply to the English setter.
[edit] field and show
how about a mention of field english setters versus the show setters? Novium 03:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- How about doing that thing yourself? The Laverack and Llewellin strains are mentioned well. Develop the article. Fiddle Faddle 07:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have a field english setter, but I've also had show/regualr english setter. I don't know much about them. Dappled Sage 02:36, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- The differences are mostly cosmetic. The field versions of the English setter of course have a higher aptitude for hunting as well. fisher99 02:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tagging
There are many unencyclopedic comments on the article with no sources. Most of these are just about acceptable, but the 'temperament' section is problematic. There is some duplicated information - Llewelyn settlers only need to be mentioned once. The stuff about DNA testing to tell the difference is interesting and could be expanded. The phrase "this is not a separate breed, they are however a completely separate and pure bloodline." is confusing and needs to be made clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DanBealeCocks (talk • contribs) 19:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
