Natural ability bird dogs. Enough said. Little Ruff is continuing to impress. Solid pointing on live birds now at just 12 weeks old.
This is hands down our best litter yet. So happy with the consistency of reports from all owners.
āGreat bird dogs are only as great as the opportunities their owners provide them. ā
Canāt wait until live action this fall as this litter will be on fire ready to cut their teeth on wild birds!

We had the great honor this week to have our good friend Jacob Perry from Superior Upland come to visit.
We talked bird dogs, grouse, woodcock, and all things upland and setters! We were able to meet Jakeās Gordy and his English Cocker! Jake was able to meet Quincy and Preachers dad, our boy Champ!
We look forward to chasing the King and Prince together soon!
While Jake was here, he picked up a pup from our Dobby x Redd litter for his pal Pete Horger! Pete will be taking his pup to the grouse state of PA where he runs his own outfitter business guiding folks on fly fishing trips and ruffed grouse and woodcock hunts! We canāt wait to see this pup develop into a legend of his own!
Thanks again Jake for stopping by! Canāt wait to do it again!

This litter as a whole has been nothing shy of perfection! All pups pointing the bird wing at 7 weeks old! Strong hunting drive and pointing instincts present at a very early age.
Of all the litters weāve ever had, this litter is truly special and possess the strongest early point instinct. The consistency of all the pups has been remarkable. Iām excited for the early reports of live bird experiences!
As for little Holly, she is just perfect. Here she is pointing for you all! She loves people and her house manners are spot on for her age.
Looking forward to many years of companionship here in the home and in the field! We love our Holly!

Oak Point English Setters is a family-centered gun-dog kennel. We are not radical animal rights activists, rather we offer a warm loving and kind approach to doing business. You will not
hear a negative word from us regarding other kennels in the English Setter business. We believe in taking a Christian approach in conducting our business practices and always following the golden rule, āTreat others as you would like to be treated!ā.
Here at Oak Point we will be striving to produce what we call true Appalachian āTraditionalā or āClassicā style English Setters. Our style of gun-dog would be that of days long past. Our dogs could be called a āGentlemanās Dogā like many old Norman Rockwell paintings. We strive to produce the beauty that George Bird Evans so loved. As George Ryman once said, āI want a dog that is excellent in the field and a pleasure to the eye the rest of the year.ā Our dogs are gentle, loving, affectionate, and always striving to please their owner. The foundation of our kennel is pictured above, Oak Point Trudy. We acquired Trudy from a fine Christian gentleman, Mr. Derek Smith, breeder and owner of Pine Mountain Setters of Daniels, West Virginia. Mr. Smithās foundation blood was that from old time grouse hunters of Virginia, Mr. Woodrow Mullins and Mr. Tom Rasnic. We spent two years searching for the āRightā dog to get us up and running. I personally read many books and spent hundreds of hours talking to breeders from all over the country who were advertising the type of Setter I was looking for. After I talked with Mr. Smith, I knew right then he was the perfect match for us.
Here at Oak Point, we strive to produce a foot-hunting gun-dog. If you are looking for a trial-type Setter, we will not be for you. Our dogs are hunting dogs who are methodical and persistent. Sometimes I like to refer to them as āmeat dogsā because you can rest-assured
that when they hunt and point there will be āmeatā flying soon! Our dogs have natural instinctive retrieving skills and will typically point at an early age at a rag, or bird wing tied to a fishing pole. Our dogs are family dogs who love children and children love them. We strive to see that our pups are placed in homes with children as often as possible.
At Oak Point our breeding program revolves around four things in this particular order; (1) the dog must possess excellent hunting qualities, (2) the dog must be in excellent health and have at the minimum
an OFA rating of FAIR, GOOD, or EXCELLENT for hips, (3) the dog must possess an ideal breed standard for weight and conformation, and (4) have a likable personality free of personality disorder. Once we begin our breeding program we will screen future owners by a paper and phone interview process to ensure that our dogs will be right for you and you for them. We will also provide a full insurance program to guarantee the health of our dogs within our purchase agreement and contract.
We pride ourselves in being a total INDEPENDENT breeder and we are not affiliated with any group of breeders at all. All of our breeding practices and decisions are made solely by us. If you have always wanted a true Appalachian English Setter, please contact us today to talk about becoming part of the Oak Point family. Our email is:

Happy hunting my friends and remember, the famous words of renown breeder and trainer Richard Weaver of Dark Hollow English Setters, āGreat Grouse Dogs, make Great Grouse Dogs!ā. Please contact today and get to know us, we hope that one day Oak Point is a regular respected name in the Setter world long after we are gone!
