ABOUT THE MICHIGAMME
ENGLISH SETTER CLUB
The Michigamme English Setter Club (MESC) was founded in 1957 to promote the interest and quality of our breed through conformation shows and hunting tests. Fifty (50) years later MESC is still alive, active and growing. MESC is a private voluntary club with a membership consisting of English Setter, owners, breeders, and other enthusiasts from the Michigan, Ohio and South Eastern Ontario region. Our membership focuses on the Laverack or "Bench" type English Setter although several members have or have had field type setters. MESC is proud to have members who are readily involved in Conformation events, ESAA Hunt Dog Tests, Obedience and Obedience type events such as Rally, as well as contributors to Therapy Pet Programs.
The English Setter is truly a multi-faceted breed and our members love exploring those facets. Each year around late summer MESC hosts a regional specialty conformation show. MESC hosts several hunting related events each year and hopes to soon offer more obedience type events for members. Members additionally enjoy a number of social events each year ranging from potluck luncheons to fun clinics and Matches.
MESC holds regular club meetings approximately every other month either at dog shows or at member homes or restaurants. We welcome interest inquiries and if you are new to the breed, or are trying to decide if the breed is right for you we would be happy to answer any questions you might have.
