I don't believe in crates, thumbs down on that. I would never put my dog in a crate, but on the setter thing. I have hunted with English setters, they hunted well, in open country, they didn't hit the thick cover real well, but the crp was gravy for them.They pick up a lot of burrs!! German wire hairs, are good brush dogs, and they are good waterfowl dogs.
I had one, and I must admit, it was a joy to watch it work a field. It never really adapted to pheasant hunting for me, but, like I said, it was absolutely beautiful to watch work a field, or a half section, or a section, or a township, for all that matters.
Eps dont really need to work the heavy stuff.. they can run the edges, and tell you theres birds in there. Ill just stand here and point, you go get em.
lol.
Love EPs, but have been running shorthairs for 15 years..
My dog, rides in the front seat, or the back seat. Never in a crate, or on a trailor. Thumbs down on those things.

I couldn't imagine having a loose dog in a vehicle. Last loose dog in my truck was a lab the rest of us brought hunting dogs...
Anyways I was assured said pet would stay on the floor mat that was a lie! Lab prints all over never again.
