Tarbaby/Dante Gordon Setters has been fortunate to have dogs with exceptional temperaments, outstanding field abilities, great conformation, and unsurpassed OFA histories behind them.   Perhaps, their most virtuous quality however, is that they whelp strong, healthy puppies.  Mothers are extraordinary in their care of above average size litters.   While a stud does not determine litter size, some of those characteristics will be passed on to his offspring.
