“However, pointers, as a rule, will train up quicker, are less likely to show temperament, and may work better in warm weather if water is scares; while setters are more likely to work better if the going is wet, take cover more courageously, and prove more nearly “one man” dogs. But burrs never the pointers … you pick your own dog!”
Horace Lytle, Gun Dogs Afield

“Setters,” he was saying, “are usually supposed to be the keenest and pointers the strongest, but in my opinion it all depends on the partic’lar dog. Nowadays I hear a good deal about the pointer bein’ the best dog, and I’ve owned some good ones myself. There’s nothing prettier than strong, wiry pointer doublin’ and turnin’ in the brush and freezin’ to a steady point. But for my own part, give me a well-bred Llewellyn setter; they’re the humanist dog they is. They’ve got the bird sense, too. Oh, you can’t beat ‘em.”
Walter Alden Dyer, The Dogs of Boytown
