| Publisher Description: What makes a setter a great hunting dog? Setters get their name from their ability to crouch low, or set, as they point their bodies toward game. The Setters book gives tweens and teens a basic introduction to the different setter breeds and explains specific training techniques readers can use to turn their dog into their best hunting companion. |
