JMO555555 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Any feedback would be great looking at getting a pup from there line?? any feedback would be good. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crm7290 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 do a google search, there is a lot of good information about them you just have to search through places like UJ and some others. "Scott and Ben Berg produce top notch setters. " this was found from a google search with many other good responses. Looking at the pictures they look like some beautiful dogs. They dont sell to anyone who doesn't hunt and their pedigree is well respected.I don't hunt but spend a lot of my non-fishing, non-homework/social life time looking and reading about bird dogs, I eventually want to have my own kennel when I am older and have the means.

St_Croix_Banks Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I've met Ben and have trained my dog (GWP) at his facility a couple of times. He have very nice Setter lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gspman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Berg Bros produces trial proven/trial worthy birddogs. I don't see how you could go wrong with a pup from them. I've talked to one of the Berg bros. at Game Fair once upon a time. He was a nice man and very knowledgable. I'm not a setter expert but beside them there's only one other setter breeder in MN I would personally consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2thepointsetters Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Both of my setters are from Berg. Bros. I recommend them 100% to anybody looking for an english setter pup. They are great in the house and hunting machines in the field. If want more info about my setters you can contact me northuplandhunter at yahoo . com Or give Ben a call at the kennel I believe they just had a couple litters.

JMO555555 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 95 percent grouse 5 percent pheasant. But its all I do in the fall and would consider myself very serious about hunting with my dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setterguy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 No better way than to contact them, set up a meeting and go out and see the facilities, meet Ben and have him give you a little demonstration. These two guys really know their stuff. Scott will (if you let him) rattle off more info about your dogs lineage than you would ever care to know. He knows bloodlines. They have the hardware, the know how and the reputation to back it all up. It would be very hard to say that going with them would be a bad decision. I'm a grouse hunter myself, and didn't hesitate for a minute when I needed a new nose. I called Ben, told him what I wanted and he told me when a litter matching my criteria would be available. 8 months later I have my new pup. As soon as the weather breaks he's going back for training. I've done it myself but Ben will be able to do in one month what would take me 3. I personally know at least a dozen guys with dogs from them and they are all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2thepointsetters Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 95 percent grouse 5 percent pheasant. But its all I do in the fall and would consider myself very serious about hunting with my dogs. Then you definitely want to call Berg Bros if your hunting grouse. Watching a Berg Bros. setter handle grouse is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'nMorgan Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I had my GSP pup out there this past fall for some training and he has some great dogs there. I watched him work some of his pups and they make great hunters. Ben is also a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quijibo Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I Talked to one of the brothers when I was in the market for a Setter a few years ago and I remember getting the impression that they were very serious about breeding the perfect dog and although they have some of the best Setters available, they felt that they were quite a ways off yet. I also got the impression that they knew more about hunting dogs than anyone I had ever met. They were trained by a dog training legend.I was pretty intent on getting a Red Setter and they weren't planning a litter of Red Ones for a while. They didn't really care much about the color of a dog, they were only interested in performance. Kind of a shame, they have one of the (historically) greatest lines of Red Setters in the world. I wouldn't hesitate to give them a call and talk about what you're looking for in a dog, they won't steer you wrong. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
