Welcome
Hudson English Setter Club


    In 1963, a group of people from the New York Metropolitan area formed the club in order to better know the breeders and owners in the area.  The organization represented members within the general vicinity of Southern New York, Long Island, and New Jersey.
    Forty one years later, HESC continues to sponsor events and offer social opportunities.  These events emphasize the versatility of the breed and encourage English Setter owners to participate in various breed activities. We also publish a monthly newsletter which announces conformation, obedience, and field results of our members, a calendar of upcoming events, and provides informational articles.  We welcome members who share our love of one of the world's finest sporting and companion dogs.
