The Irish Setter is a dog breed selected in the 19th century; its ancestors are most probably the Spanish Pointer.
The Irish Setters are energetic, intelligent, affectionate, loving, high-spirited. They have excellent noses and are very fast.
They have an oval skull, slightly domed. Their body is medium-sized and their low-set ears are thin and hang close to the head.
Their coat is moderately long and silky and of a deep red color; it requires frequent brushing to maintain its condition and keep it mat-free.
Irish Setters are all purpose hunting dogs, both a pointer and retriever in all types of terrains. They are especially good for hunting game birds.
They are impulsive, with an independent spirit, and full of energy. Irish Setters get fairly well with other pets, and are good with children.
They require a lot of attention from their owners, need to be calm, yet possess an air of natural authority, being firm, confident and consistent,
otherwise they’ll find it difficult to train their dog. As Irish Setters are not a naturally aggressive breed, they have no guarding instincts;
they are instead widely used as therapy dogs in schools and hospitals.
