Irish Setter Dog Breed Information Profile

About the Irish Setter Dog:

A mixture of a variety of sporting breeds, the elegant Irish Setter has long been a favorite among dog fanciers - whether in the field or on the bench. Considered by many to  be the most beautiful show dog of them all, the Irish Setter is definitely the tallest of the setters, measuring about  27 inches at the shoulder (females are about 25 inches tall). These majestic creatures weigh 70 pounds for males and 60 pounds for females. The Irish Setter sports a long, lean head and beautifully feathered ears, tail, legs and underbody. It's strong, swift trot gives this dog a very regal carriage.

Irish Setter Dog Breed History:

This magnificently colored hunting dog came into his own early in the eighteenth century in his native Ireland. He soon gained popularity throughout the British Isles also. The early specimens of the breed were not the solid color we associate with the breed today. They were for the most part, red and white. They became great favorites as general hunting dogs and were used for various game birds.

The solid red setter as distinguished from the parti-colored dog came into prominence in Ireland early in the nineteenth century. They earned their reputation as a hunter in the United States primarily with birds strange and new to them — ruffed grouse, quail, and the prairie chicken.

Irish Setter Character:

When it comes to personality, the Irish Setter is everybody's best friend. Although not the best choice for a watchdog due to it's very amicable nature, the Irish Setter makes a marvelous family dog, brimming with enthusiasm, energy, and affection.

Irish Setter Grooming Needs

Grooming requirements are moderate; the long, straight coat should be brushed regularly to keep it gleaming and tangle-free. Certain areas should be trimmed occasionally to keep a clean look. Early and consistent obedience training is recommended to help your puppy reach it's full potential as a well-mannered member of the family. It's Irish heritage make this dog a natural for field sports.
