Resources
While there are a fair amount of field Gordon Setter breeders, we are going to list the few that are trying to keep a strong amount of Springset genes in their lines. Please keep in mind that most breeders of field Gordon Setters are doing their best to improve their lines but to find the right Gordon Setter for you, your wants and needs should align with what the particular breeder is trying to accomplish. For instance, at Springset, we were trying to build one heck of a bird hunter and family member (like your grandparents used to have) while intensifying those genetics. Our goal was obviously centered on the hunter and his family, wherever in the world they may be.
Here is a list of breeders of Springset line Gordon Setters who are focused on the hunter:

Available Books
The best way to get our books is to contact our publisher direct. Go to Xlibris.com and search (or advanced search) author: Sorby.
The Field Gordon Setter: the Black & Tan Bombshell
An excellent book for people wanting to know just about everything Gordon Setter. Considered the most knowledgeable Gordon Setter source for the new and experienced owner. NOT a dry read!
Rosie with the Cold Wet Nose
A fabulous children's book, written and illustrated by Suzanne Sorby. (All of Gordon Setters included in this book belonged to the author and her husband.)
How to Breed the Superdog
A book that the late Norman Sorby was working on when he passed. We hope to have this book finished within the next year.
This book will hopefully open and expand the minds of breeders and what they can accomplish.
History of Springset
A book that we someday hope to write. We are scheduling it after the Superdog book. A somewhat humorous biography of a family who do things "normal" people simply don't do, for the love of the Gordon Setter.
(Don't worry yet, names will most likely be changed to protect the guilty!)
May the next generation begin...
A big thank you to all of our lovely people and Gordon Setters who helped enrich our lives. It is our privilege to continue to help you wherever we can. Please don't be afraid to contact us.
