About Twombly Setters/Coronation kennels
Earl Twombly started breeding and showing English Setters in 1925 in Waterbury, VT. His most notable dogs were CH "Joe Silver" in 1930, "Duke of Decoverly" in the 40s, and of course, Corey Ford's beloved setters "Cider", and "Tober", Cider's son in the 50s and 60s. Corey wrote some of the best upland sporting stories back in the day, and two of his friends, real Lower Forty Club members also had Twombly Setters. Earl Twombly worked to have good looking, strong-going field dogs with hunting drive. He and his daughter, Becky, often showed dogs on a Saturday then they would point and retrieve grouse and woodcock on Sunday. Many current "dual" breeders have built their kennels including Twombly dogs. Earl's legacy continues today through his grandson, Legh, and his wife, Jenn. They have dedicated their retirement to these fine setters. Legh Higgins said "We have a family 3 generation love for gun dogs". Legh and Jenn breed only dogs with sound hips and elbows per the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals, and strive to honor Earl's "eye" for good looks, sweet temperament, and bird sense in the setters they raise. They hunt the coverts of the Northeast Kingdom in northern VT in October then travel south in November when the snow flies to Virginia.

All the way from Texas we flew to meet our first English Setter at Coronation kennels. The experience was so exciting. Legh and Jenn are very involved and passionate about their dogs in every aspect. Leading up to pick up day we had a few months of correspondence via emails, face book and phone calls that made us feel like we were seeing old friends. Our pup is only 10 weeks old but he's been hunting, responding well to simple commands and of course a great cuddle buddy too. We feel so blessed to have welcomed a Twombly Setter in to our hearts! Thanks you Legh and Jenn Higgens
Truly,

I had the privilege of shooting quail with Legh and Jen Higgins over their beautiful Twombly setters at Olympia Bend Plantation on the shores of the Withlacoochee River in Lowndes County, GA a couple of weekends ago. A Southern boy all my life I usually hunt over Pointers and rarely get to watch the work of English Setters. The Higgins' dogs were trained to perfection, had superior noses, and were as biddable as any dogs I've ever hunted over. Fantastic dogs, people, and shooting grounds...Geo. Newbern

Two nicer people you'll never meet than Legh and Jenn Higgins - and their setters are lovely and well mannered. You will not be disappointed.
