Learning about a breeder’s selection practices is a great way to find English Setters for sale that ideally fit your prefences.  Asking specific questions about the traits will tell you two very important things.  One, does the breeder have a well thought out plan.  Two, is the targeted result a good match for what you want in your next hunting companion.

Next, it’s a good idea to find out how the breeder identifies the prospects they chose to breed.  When asked, the best breeders can articulate very specifically how they evaluate prospective breeding pairs.  Therefore, look for specifics that illustrate a relaible process of identifying dogs that are superior at bird finding, bird handling, and have great mental make-up.

One final note, the relative quality of selection has two parts.  One, the quality of the evaluation process.  Two, the selection ratio.  In other words, how selective is the breeder.  It’s not possible toi find the one in many with evaluating “many”.  In other words, the breeder that evaluates 2 females to find one to breed is highly unlikely to produce on par with a breeder that evaluates 8 females to find one to breed.
