Moonsetter

Gordon Setters (Reg'd)

"The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made his greatest gift the commonest. " -Martin Luther

Our Dogs

The Gordons of Moonsetter aren't just our dogs, they're part of our family.  We don't have a large kennelful of dogs, though we do own a few more than your average "two dog family"!  


As part of our commitment to the Breed, our dogs not only strive to earn an AKC bench championship, but also hunting or performance titles. In our case this usually means a Junior Hunter title, but we also enjoy competing with our dogs in a variety of other sports.

 

The exciting part of our dogs' accomplishments is, they are always breeder-owner-handled both in the ring, and the field.  There's nothing quite like taking a dog of your own into the breed ring and coming out a winner from the Bred-By Exhibitor class, or watching poetry in motion as they work a bird field.  Why would we want to miss out on that??

Enzo

Enzo, meaning "ruler of the house", was named (and is owned) by Olivia. One of a stunning litter of just three boys, this fellow was supposed to be our pick girl! We think Olivia's love of Gordon boys, and a little "wishful thinking" might have had something to do with it... but we're thrilled to have this beautiful boy as part of our family. 

Veronica

Veronica, meaning "true image" wasn't exactly the name we had in mind for this lovely pick girl from our V-Litter. But, her litter was bred because of its pedigree connection to her grandma "Truly". When we found out it meant "true" image... it had to stay! 

Waverly

Waverly is the pick puppy from the much-anticipated Y litter, out of our Enzo and Veronica. Being the only girl in the litter, we hoped she would be just half as nice as her parents. This little girl immediately exceeded our expectations! We can't wait to see what she accomplishes in the show ring and more. 
Ryder is the pick puppy from the Storm litter. He came back to us at 3 years old from British Columbia, Canada due to the passing of his wonderful owner, and we made the decision to keep him here. He is our first Canadian Champion and Grand Champion, and a GSCA National Specialty major winner. Though we miss his owner and our dear friend, we are happy to have this sweet boy as part of our family. 
Rowan is the pick puppy from the Herbs & Spices litter, from our girl Waverly's first litter. With 6 girls to choose from, she made our decision easy, as she was a stand out from a very young age. We are incredibly excited to include this sweet girls temperament and unique pedigree into our program. Rowan earned her Grand a few months after earning her Championship at just a year old, becoming our youngest to earn the title!

Imogen

Imogen is the pick girl from the Snow Litter. This was our last litter out of our Veronica, and we had hoped for a boy to move forward with this time. Veronica had other plans, and gave us two beautiful girls. Both girls were absolutely stunning, but we picked Ginny early on, as she represented everything we loved about her sire and dam.
