I am committed to carrying on the so-called Smith Setter lines. Elwin and Inez Smith started these line of dogs and Harold Ray continued breeding this line of setters. Harold Ray, the trainer of the Smith Setters won 80 championships, 67 RU Championships, 21 Futurity Wins and was elected into the Field Trial Hall of Fame in 2006.
For that reason, my first English Setter was a Smith bred Setter. He was a son out of CH Blacksmith. It was a wise decision, Havelock Spartacus was a truly amazing bird dog and even a better pet. There is not one day that I do not think about "Sparky." I was lucky that he tolerated and loved me.
