We use our new Viking for about the same purposes.We have a local breeder of Setters that are from the Grouse Ridge line;so we see quite a few of those.We are changing over from English Pointers to German Short-hairs.Both breeds are good bird finders but the GSP's are better retrievers and they like the water.
Small world;Styles is a good friend.Helped us with some of our dogs.He comes to my place with a load of setters a couple times a year.You must be talking about Styles Bridges?
I've trained a lot of pointers and shorthairs in my lifetime. You are 100% right, the shorthairs are much more versatile.
I have a setter competing on the major horseback shooting dog circuit. She will run in the Georgia Championship next week. An expensive game!!
