Well, after thinking that I would be waiting until at least late spring/early summer for a Ryman pup (and trying to tell myself I could wait that long), I lucked out and was able to get a male pup from JC Smith’s Sugar Creek litter at the last minute. Introducing “Sugar Creek Roger Angell”! A full week in, I feel incredibly lucky — Roger is a brave, confident, and agreeable puppy.
Today I brought him down to visit my friend Ken and his handsome Ryman, Parker. Roger settled right in and got to play around with pointing a wing — I’ve never seen a puppy key in like that based only on instinct — what an amazing thing to witness!
He’s all soft sweetness right now, but I can already tell that I’m going to have a boisterous bird dog on my hands. I’m pretty excited for the adventure!

Congratulations Katie, nice looking pup. I am sure you will be hooked on Ryman Setters from here on. Looks like he has some nice books to read to learn the ropes.

Thanks, Mark! He’s not much of a reader; but lucky for him, I am!

Hi Terry,
So sorry about your boy. However long they live, it’s never long enough.
Looks like there are several lovely litters coming along, though — I think you’re in luck!

Katie, glad you and Roger are having fun. Gail and I really enjoy your photos. You seem to have a gift for composition…. and getting a puppy to cooperate! Looking forward to more fun news of Roger’s development.

GREAT photos, Katie, and what a beautiful Pup you have! Congratulations; you are embarking on an exciting journey with a Ryman setter puppy. These setters have provided me with many years of joy and fulfillment as well as great companionship. I just know you will enjoy the ride.

Thanks, Walt! I just finished putting together his extended pedigree, it is fun seeing the names of some of your dogs in his background — I’ve been going back through the book, ogling pictures and trying to imagine which dogs I think (and/or hope) he might end up looking and acting like!

Although I only got to spend a half hour with this puppy, I was very impressed. Precocious, confident, curious, happy and, of course, cute. All the things I would want in an 8 week old dog. Kate’s going to have her hands full but I think she got a “a good one”.
