Battling bots and other moderation tools
Hi /r/EnglishSetter!
Bots
As you may have noticed, there has been some pretty awful bot traffic of late. The mod team has added some Auto mod tooling and a bot (¡bots on bots!) to help identify spam bots and repost content. Some tooling may take a minute(s) to clean up the icky bots but they shouldn't be up for hours anymore. We'll be continuing to add or adjust new and current mod tools to help.
Mod help
I want to thank everyone who's been reporting the spam bots. Your vigilance and care for this community is part of what makes this little slice of Reddit so great. Our mod team has two active mods and I think as we've grown we need more hands on deck. If anyone has mod experience, is fairly active on Reddit and wants to help maintain and grow our community, please message me or settersrclowns.
Again, thank you and I personally love seeing every single setter on here (not the bot reposts, bah!) When I'm down, I often come here for a lift. Seeing all the setters are truly gifts.
-mittensblum and the r/EnglishSetter Mod Team
Update
Tweaked some auto moderation config, added some more bot help, and added some more ES coloring flair. If any of the tools seem to be too heavy handed and is generally making it a pain the rump to post, comment, etc—please do message the Mod Team.
Thanks again for all the users going above and beyond to report bots and spam in general. It warms the heart knowing so many care about this community!

Grouse Hunting
Didn't find any grouse today, but can't beat a morning out in the mountains.

Recs for future pup
Hi all!
I'm looking for recommendations on reputable breeders in the Midwest (preferably MN, ND, SD, WI, IA) for English Setter pups. Ideally would like to train them for bird hunting (grouse and pheasant). Looking to get on wait-lists for future litters as we're looking ~ 3 years down the line before we're ready to welcome the pup home!
TYIA 😊

Dog ramp for car?
Our ES is now 10 years old and we are looking for a car ramp that is hopefully durable and foldable for space. We have a Subaru Forester.

Happy boy!
Our sweet Charlie! We rescued him on July 31st, and just one day after coming home, he ended up spending almost an entire month in the ICU with pneumonia. Now he’s had all of his vaccines and has gained 8 pounds so far! We’re so happy to see how far our sweet boy has come.

She's definitly smelling something I can't see yet
Honestly, she's such an amazing dog.
I wish I could have let her roam free in that forest, she looked fantastic against the green moss. Orange looks best in autumn and blue in winter, what's best for orange and blue english setters?
