Crockett Ranch proudly carries the name of Hall of Fame and National Champion winner Johnny Crockett, the only English Setter to win the National Championship since 1946, and the last English Setter to win the National All-Age Open Championship. Crockett Ranch continues the winning legacy of Johnny Crockett with selective line-breeding and outcrossing to develop an English Setter with style, grace, stamina, and disposition, with both a love and an instinct to hunt. In addition to National Champion Johnny Crockett, our bloodlines include:

Hall of Fame Champion Bozeann's Mosley
All-Age Champion Calico's Future Force
Champion Ultimate Reissue
Champion A Tarheel Sunrise
Champion Havelock Blacksmith

Crockett Ranch maintains a fine inventory of well-trained English Setters. Our prices are very competitive based on the talent, performance, and pedigree of each very special English Setter. The Orvis-endorsed Crockett Ranch program produces only carefully planned litters from champion bloodlines, hunters, and field trial competitors. Our pups are worked regularly and make excellent, stylish hunter companions as well as field trial prospects. Quality, not quantity, is our goal.

The Ranch offers puppies, started dogs, and finished dogs that have been trained on the wild, elusive Texas Bobwhite quail. We offer gun dog training to the public that is both flexible and focused on the client’s style of hunting, whether that be on foot, ATV, or horseback.
