Frequently Asked Questions
This page answers questions relating to Stonecreek English Setters
- How are the dogs registered?
Stonecreek English setters are registered with the American Field.

- Where do I pick up a new dog?
Owners may pick up dogs in Montana during summer months and South Carolina during the winter or we will ship via airlines. Pups may be shipped at eight weeks of age.
- What is the warranty?
George Hickox Bird Dogs guarantees all dogs to be warranted against hip dysplasia and retinal dysplasia. Dogs are guaranteed to be healthy and free from any hereditary or congenital diseases. We warranty pups to be free of hip dysplasia through three years of age. The owner should have a puppy x-rayed after two years of age to certify that the dog's hips are sound.
- If I purchase a dog from George Hickox Bird Dogs are there any breeding restrictions?
No. The dog is titled in the owner's name.
- Where are the dogs trained?
A dog's current level in training will dictate his training local. We spend time in the West, in the grouse woods, and in South Carolina. The dogs will have had experience on wild quail on our winter South Carolina plantation residency, and wild bird experience in the West during late summer and fall.
- How do I pick a more advanced level dog?
George Hickox Bird Dogs will work with you as a consultant to match the right dog for owners depending on the type of hunting and family needs that are desired. We custom develop hunting companions to the individual's style of hunting. These dogs are normally on a reservation basis.
