SAGE English Setter Nampa, ID

UPDATE: These two handsome boys are Sage (lighter color) and Boss (darker orange). They are four and a half year old Orange Belton English Setters and have been in foster care for a little while now. They are siblings purchased from the same breeder. These boys have some impressive lines: one of their grandsires (T's Gunrunner) is a 3-time CH and 3-time Runner-Up CH, probably AKC venue. T's Gunrunner's sire is one of the country's top ES as far as trials go, 11-time CH, Runner-Up and Field Trial Hall of Fame, Tekoa Mountain Sunrise.


Unfortunately, due to family issues, Sage and Boss were turned into an animal shelter; but then taken in by English Setter rescue in Idaho. They've been back yard dogs, but in spite of that have that sweetly typical friendly setter personality. They are nice sized boys - Sage weighs about 60 pounds and Boss weighs about 55 pounds. They like to spend time in the back yard looking at birds and squirrels and neighbors and joggers on the ditch bank. Or, they’ll just lie down on the patio and nap (unless there’s a cat in the window). They do OK with cats, but do like to stalk them. They get along with other dogs, but it may take a little while for them to warm up to them. They are crate trained and house trained. They actually seem to like it in their crates as long as you’re in the room with them. They just lie down and go to sleep. Or, after a few minutes of sniffing around, or if there are no other distractions (like cats), they will just lay down wherever you are and go back into nap mode.


These boys have a lot of potential and would love to have their own homes. Even though they are over four years old, they’re a little bit of a blank slate and will be very fun for someone to work with.
