Where to buy a Red Setter?

Signpost

Just wondering does anyone know anything about the availability of Red Setter pups at the minute. A few on Done Deal but like everything else up there I'd be a bit nervous of what I was buying... Would like to get one mostly as a pet but will be used for some shooting in the winter too so needs to be from a working blood line.
Would prefer to see both parents if possible when buying the dog and sex is not a definite but would choose a bitch if I had the choice as easier to train I've found in the past.
Living in the county side on a dairy farm and dog will be living with a young (I think we are anyway!) couple, plenty space and mountain for the dog to be well exercised.
Does anyone know a guide price for pups too? Would rather pay a bit more for a well bred one. Definitely has to be pure bred as wouldn't risk a cross around children etc.

You say you shoot but I notice from your post history you haven't posted in the hunting forum. Maybe you didn't know it was there? It might be a better place to enquire about working line dogs. I can move your thread there if you wish. A link to the thread would still appear here.

Saying I shoot would be probably be highly insulting to most good hunters. I fire shots at pheasants and I am fortunate enough I'm not dependant on my strike rate for dinner usually! More an excuse to get out for a good long walk and relax, and also get a few days out and about with my better halfs' father, this is why the dog would be primarily a pet ha.
Would be great if you could move the post, wasnt aware the forum existed. Done a simple search for red setters and ended up on the animal and pet issue forum is why I am here!
Thanks
