Sarahsetter Puppies
"The puppies at Sarahsetter Kennels are quite unique. Sarahsetter has several generations that have been hand selected for their natural bird dog abilities.
Sarahsetter puppies are called “super puppies” because they are ready to hunt when they leave.
Training Philosophy
We prefer to train without punishment – behavioral training methods and positive reinforcement will develop your dog to his full potential. This phrase ‘help your dog develop his full potential’ was coined in our first advertisements when Sarahsetter Kennels opened in 1991. The phrase is often seen now in many ads but no one does it better than Sarahsetter Kennels. We have always limited the number of dogs that we accept for training so that we have the time that is necessary to get your dog out every day for training so that progress is steady and consistent.
History
I have been a lifetime multiple dog owner starting with many pet dogs as a child. Sarah was my first birddog during the summer of 1975. Sarah’s mistreatment during a four week stay with an obedience trainer in 1977 lead me into the world of dog training. Sarah returned scared and intimidated by being jerked around with a choke collar. My very first dog training effort was to rehabilitate Sarah. This has lead me on a life long search to find new and inventive training techniques to make it easier for dogs to learn.
After Sarah's early demise from cancer I obtained puppies from the best Red Setters of 1981 that lead to a decade of serious field trial effort all over the country primarily with the National Bird Hunters Association trials. I grew disenchanted with walking trials as the emphasis shifted from gentleman's shooting dogs to edge running trial dogs. My decision to change careers brought me back to what I truly enjoy - great gundogs. Sarahsetter Kennels was founded on very rare principles back in 1991 - to train dogs without the use of punishment by using behavioral training methods including negative and positive reinforcement."
