Lightning Flash English Setters

Lightning Flash English Setters 40 Years of breeding, training, trialing, and hunting English Setters. Located in Canton, NY Specializing in Dog Training of all hunting breeds.

In 1974, I bought my first English Setter from Doctor David Gorman, Malone, NY. Dave was an avid field trialer and became my mentor. From that time forward, I was smitten with "longhairs". My first setters hunted and ran in small amateur field trials. Bitten by the field trial bug, I began to focus more on developing a setter that could compete on the major Northeast field trial circuit. Light

ning Flash Setters were established, and the kennel consisted primarily of female English setters that were vigorously campaigned. The Lightning Flash Setter females began to be in high demand as brood bi***es to owners of winning stud dogs. A tradition of winning "long hairs" began. In the late 1970's, to the mid 1980's, Lightning Flash Setters won on a national stage from the grouse woods of the North to the bean fields of the South. We were fortunate to develop a line of English Setters that could both hunt for recreation and win in national field trials. Today, we're focusing solely on producing family hunting dogs. We are utilizing forty years experience to develop started English Setters that will not only hunt but will become loving, well-behaved household members.

Managed to find enough time between rain storms to work the dogs this weekend. Styles enjoys roading after some rain because the long grass holds moisture and helps keep the dogs from overheating. And of course we wrapped it all up with some bird work!
