He is an OK hunter, but what a difficult dog. Is this common? The difference is night and day

We have one, an older gal that was found in the middle of a turning lane dead asleep.
We took her in from the finder and kept her eventually.
Hard-headed, stubborn, yet sweet and a joy to have around.
We don't hunt her but she can be very "birdy" when she wants to be.
Mostly she is a couch potato.
If we did another English, it would be an older one.

Luke is 99% awesome with two exceptions, he won't go downstairs if I'm leaving and he won't get off my side of the bed. The first cause he wants to go with me bad and the second cause he wants to fuck with me bad.

We found and installed a birdfeeder that attaches to the outside of our living room window. Now she hunts, albeit finches and titmouse's, without stressing her back legs. Attached File

She was 14 yrs old and would not have survived the surgery. We made the decision to let her go peacefully and painlessly this afternoon. RIP sweet girl. Attached File Attached File

Yeah. It's hard. I'm going back to three dogs. My old girl is going to finish her last full season this year. She should be with me for years to come but hunting all day is too much for her joints. She'll still get half days of hunting and preserve romps. My Brittney puppy is a rock eater and he'll eventually do himself in despite my best efforts. I'm hard pressed to put much money bird wise into him because of this. Shame, because he's a great dog.

I bought a started 3 year old GSP to fill the gap between puppy and semi-retired dog.

My dogs have always been pets first, hunting dogs second. It's why I couldn't give my rock eater back to the breeder.

I've never seen them respond to harsh training and more ES have been ruined by an E-collar than any other breed. Great dogs, they just take lots of time to mature.

My avatar dog is not a Llewellyn, just a regular setter. My first setter. They say setters are slow to mature, and based on this dog I'd agree. He's 5 and finally calmed down (mostly). They also say setters are smart (for a bird dog). Mine is dumb as a post, but at least he's not near as hard headed as a couple shorthairs I've had. Setters are sweet hearted dogs though.

I have a female setter that I’m not sure is going to work for me. I got her early Aug. She’s going to need work but she’s got a nose and points. Not for sale but I’d give her to a good home.
