From a childhood spent hunting with her family through the trial and error of acquiring a good foundation for her breeding program, her story is inspiring as to what can be accomplished with single minded dedication and focus. The Set\u2019r Ridge dogs are iconic and can be found in many pedigrees of the top dogs in the breed.\r\nRead more here http://www.englishsetter.com (http://www.englishsetter.com)\r\nIn a breed which most would consider \u201csplit\u201d between shown and field, to the point Melissa describes them as two separate breeds, competing with a \u201cLaverack\u201d or show type English Setter in Field Trials is an uphill battle as the dogs\u2019 running and pointing style are radically different than those of it\u2019s \u201cLlewellin\u201d cousins. Just as the field dogs would not meet the standard of the dogs shown in the ring, the show dogs often don\u2019t meet the judges\u2019 unwritten but iron clad \u201cpicture\u201d of a dog in the field.\r\nRead here http://www.esaa.com/Gazette/LaverackLlewellin.html (http://www.esaa.com/Gazette/LaverackLlewellin.html) for more on the history of this development in the breed.\r\nEnjoy this \u201ctalk\u201d with one of the master breeders working to bridge that \u201cgreat divide.\u201d\r\nDual Champion Hadji - Melissa Newman\r\nSetter Ridge is the home of Hadji (Dual Ch Can Ch Set'r Ridge's Solid Gold CDX MH HDX CGC), who passed on in February 2000. Hadji produced 129 American Champions including 16 all breed Best in Show dogs out of 12 different dams.
