IRISH SETTER Dogs

IRISH SETTER Dogs

Originally bred to track preys that were then retrieved by smaller Spaniels, it progressively stopped interesting hunters when the use of other breeds that fulfilled a double function was extended (show and retrieving dogs at the same time). Nowadays it is basically a company dog.

GENERAL Dog DESCRIPTION

This beautiful and athletic animal joints an unrestrainedly energy and very strong tracing instinct, so the daily walk will not always be totally quiet. Affectionate and pleasant, it can be hard to train, not because it is not intelligent as some people think by mistake, but because its hunting instinct is so deep-rooted that sometimes it is difficult to control.
