Our Stud Dogs


October Mountain Buckbrush

Buck, out of Lizzie x Heath, brings the qualities of our Llewellin cross back into the Ryman-type side of our lines. Buck is a close to moderate ranging, easy going/level-headed, comfortable hunting dog. He has strong pointing instincts, is a good retriever, and he handles wild birds with skill. OFA Excellent, 61 lbs. Pedigree


October Coulter Pine

Coulter is out of Iris x Heath. Line bred to Bess x Sage, Coulter is the embodiment of the ideals we strive for in a Ryman-type setter. He is athletic, medium ranged, fun to watch, and smart about finding and handling birds. Coulter also has his father’s conformation and stamina. A great natural and all-around dog. OFA Excellent, 55 lbs. Pedigree


October Mountain Talus

Talus is out of our female Piper bred to Goodgoing Mason. This cross brings new lines into to our kennel, including a Pinecoble line we haven’t used before. Talus is a methodical hunter, very much like his mother Piper. He covers ground efficiently at a moderate range and speed, finding and pointing a high percentage of the birds. Talus is a very comfortable dog to hunt, needing no handling at all in the field. OFA Good, 63 lbs. Pedigree Video


October Heathlands Birch

Birch, out of our cross to Hafrarells Mori, imported from Iceland by Classic Setters in Missouri, was the most competent six month old puppy we’ve ever seen and he continues to impress us with a high level of natural hunting ability. He combines being fairly fast and moderately wide ranging for our dogs with checking in regularly and keeping track of you, making him very pleasant to hunt. He points virtually all birds he has an opportunity on and has a strong instinct to wait for the hunter to flush them. Preliminary OFA Good at 17 months, 67 lbs. Pedigree Video


October Heathlands Hunter

Hunter, like his dam Autumn, handled wild birds consistently right out of the box. Outcrosses are always an experiment, and we are excited that the natural abilities we breed for are not diminished by the cross to Mori. Hunter has a very good nose and uses the wind effectively. Similar to his brother Birch, he points all of the birds he finds, and his desire to wait for you to flush is very strong. He also ranges fairly fast and moderately wide while keeping in touch and checking in regularly. Preliminary OFA Good at 17 months, 63 lbs. Pedigree Video
