English Setter puppies...
What could be more adorable? English Setters are excellent hunting dogs but are often overlooked as house pets and wonderful family members. Their soft coat and loving personalites make them a great fit for any active family. They are, by far, the sweetest member of the hunting dog breeds and are as affectionate and loyal as they come. An English Setter puppy would be a welcome addition to any outdoor family.

Talented hunters and cherished family companions.

Hunting Tips for Beginners

First time hunting? Or perhaps you've hunted before, but are still very new to the experience. Below are some helpful hints for those beginners looking to grasp and enjoy all that hunting has to offer, including great home cooked meals from fresh catches.

First, always be safe. Depending on the type of hunting you will be doing, it is always wise to have some form of protective gear on. A bright orange vest is usually ideal, but can sometimes be a distraction to the animals you are hunting.

Second, your equipment is essential. Binoculars, a proper rifle, and even a hunting knife are all key components to a successful hunt.

Lastly, knowledge on the animal you are hunting is a great advantage to have, even if only minor knowledge.

To learn more or to see some of the great items we have to offer, visit our website today, www.cedarridgesetters.com/

Have a great Fourth of July!

Tips for Successful Quail Hunting

Hunting quails can be fun, exciting, and some even find it relaxing. For those not too familiar with the sport, may find it a bit challenging at first. Below are a few little helpful tips for those thinking of hunting quail for the first time, or even for those more advanced.

First, quail are typically hunted in the fall. Usually a hunting dog or “bird dog” is brought along with the group to help sniff out quails. These dogs will bring the birds out of hiding, and hunters will use this commotion to their advantage.

When hunting quail it is recommended to do so in pairs, with a pair of trained dogs. This will help when covering a larger space, as well as be a good safety procedure. If something were to happen to you, it’s best that another person be around.

For safety reasons, be sure to wear bright colored clothing. With this sport, it is not necessary to wear camouflage. This will ensure not only your safety, but the safety of those around you. It may even be a good idea to put some form of brightly colored item on your dog.
