Cody, setters can run from 30 pounds to 90 pounds. Their hair can go from 3/4 inches long to 7 inches long. Their range can vary from 45 yards to 2 miles. As part of your research, you need to formulate some parameters of what you expect from your dog and search for breeders that produce that type of dog consistently. If you've never hunted over a setter, maybe that should be part of your research. I wouldn't buy the same setter for hunting 90 foot wide filter strips for pheasants as I would for hunting mountainside chukars in Idaho. There is as much variability in the setter breed as there is between a lot of breeds. What I don't want is for you to expend your available $ for an animal you'll never be satisfied with. As a breeder, I have avoided the horseback All-age bloodlines because I know that a certain percentage of the pups may well display that kind of range and many of my clients would never be able to deal with that kind of dog. Far too many buyers choose their pup on some color characteristic or look with no concern for their personality or field propensity. I don't know you or know what you know, but it sounds to me like you're a bit away in your research from knowing what to ask to find the setter of your dreams. Make sure your research has a goal of satisfying that dream. Initial cost is irrelevant. The cost of the dog over 12-15 years will far outweigh it's puppy price. You might define affordable for us. Good quality pups will run from $350-$1000 or more. Price will not tell you what the end product will be. Parents do that.
