These are the litters that we have proposed for this year (spring and fall). Please remember that these are proposed breedings. Man proposes and God disposes. Some of these breedings may not take place or sires may change. However, while the sires may change the litter characteristics should stay the same. Deposits placed early ensures “dibs” on that litter. For more information on how the Springset deposit works, please see our Costs And Book Orders page. Thank you.
Reno x Louisa (due March 21, 2008)
Reno is our number one sire. He is everyone’s favorite because he is so loving and easy to work with. We affectionately call him “CatDog” as he loves to rub up against you. He adores children of all ages. He is a complete pleasure to handle in the field, working as your partner, not as a dog who will do it themselves, thank you! He has high style and natural retrieve that makes his pups not only a pleasure to hunt with, but also handle any competition as well. Reno has a wide looping pattern and he throws all of these wonderful characteristics not only to his kids, but the grandkids as well.
Louisa is everyone’ favorite girl. She is one of our resident “couch potatoes”. She contemplates how to make everyone happy so that her time on the couch as beloved house pet will last longer. The only one to give her any competition in this area is her daughter, Frazzle. Louisa has a beautiful smooth coat, lovely build and coloring. Her pups are extremely easy to housebreak (mostly because they too enjoy the creature comforts of house life and aren’t willing to do anything to jeopardize that). So far, everyone absolutely loves Louisa’s pups. We are confident that you will too.
Expectations of the litter: We expect these pups to be about 50-55 lbs. with beautiful looks and coloring. They will be incredibly wonderful and tender around children, easy going for the hunters who simply don’t want to work hard at either training or hunting their dogs anymore. Pheasant, quail and grouse will not stand a chance with these pups. A perfect hunting companion/house pet.
Questor x Frazzle (due April 7, 2008)
Questor is our last son of our late great Skye (Springset Skye Blue). He is thee most handsome Gordon I think we have ever produced. When you think you have seen it all, then he points everything with such incredible style and intensity that it takes our breath away. We are sure that it will take yours away as well. He is very very sweet and biddable. He has a close wide looping range and makes a lot of visual contact with you in the field. He is wants a strong partnership type of relationship both in and out of the field. His coat is flat with a slight wave to it and his coloring is a fantastic mahogany. Extremely striking dog.
This will be Frazzle’s second litter. Her first pups were very much like her, easy going and beautiful. Being Louisa’s daughter, she too likes her creature comforts and throws these traits to her kids as well. She has a close wide looping pattern and is a hard worker in the field, yet is as relaxed as a tired woman after two glasses of wine in the household…mellow! Not much frazzle’s Frazzle!
Expectations of the litter: These pups will be about 45-50 lbs, with a smoother type of coat. They will be a close wide looping dog perfect for pheasant, quail, chukar and grouse. Fantastic for kids and easy easy easy. They should have beautiful looks and a “pet me!” attitude.
Questor x Angel (due April 6, 2008)

When you think you have seen it all, then he points everything with such incredible style and intensity that it takes our breath away. We are sure that it will take yours away as well.

This will be Angel’s first litter. Her breeding is one of hunting’s finest. Her sire is our wonderful Punch who is striking in looks and style (not to mention ability), and her dam is Raven, my mother’s private house dog for years. Angel is styled by her father but has all of her mother’s abilities; strong retrieve, smarts and best yet, her wonderful bird pinning ability. Bird pinning comes in very handy when you have birds that tend to run. The dog will leave point to re-establish point, keeping the bird between you and the dog, they absolutely hate for anything to get away! This little girl is bird berserk. She will work herself hard even in 104 degree temps. She simply can’t stand the thought of anything getting away from her. She has a wide looping pattern, pretty coloring and is extremely sweet. She takes your breath away on point. For hunters she is a dream as she learns very quickly and uses her knowledge to prevent anything getting away the next time. For competition people, she is a dream come true because of her fabulous bird sense and her extreme style. You simply cannot lose with this little girl.
Expectations of the litter: We expect these pups to be very affectionate and sweet. They should have a larger close wide looping pattern or you could say a smaller wide looping pattern (ranging somewhere around 150-250 yards tops, depending upon the cover). They should have extreme style on point and breathtaking movement. Agility, power and style all at once. They will be wonderfully sweet with people of all ages and very quick to housebreak. A great all around companion. Hunt this pup on weekdays and compete with it on weekends. These pups will do it all. Excellent breeding/foundation stock.
