that is, undoubtedly, an English Setter.....as for what kind of work, see if he has any gun dog instincts (does he "set" when he comes to a bush w/ birds?...does he flush?....what's his reaction to a gun?)
how long have you had him?....anyone around missing a dog?...he looks well cared for
He "sets" for sure. He doesn't flush.
And I haven't fired a gun around him to see what he would do.
He showed up sometime last fall; I don't remember when exactly...
I called the local vets and shelters. I checked the want ads for missing dogs.
Oh, and the grocery store too.
He is absolutely ancient, and you are correct. The teeth he has left are perfect. I figure him to have lost about half of his hearing, just comparing his reactions to that of the other dogs.
Anyway, he ended up being a nice guy, getting along with the other dogs, so we just kept him.
