history
The red Irish setter is descended from various spaniel, setter and pointing dog varieties and was originally a red and white dog with relatively short legs. In the 19th century the red setter was created through selection. Its ancestor, the red-and-white Irish setter, disappeared almost completely in the 19th century and was rebuilt in the middle of the twentieth century with the cross-breeding of selected red Irish setters with the blood of red-white Irish setters. Around the same time, the English setter was primarily bred by Sir Edward Laverack, which is why this breed is also known as the "Laverack setter". The Gordon Setter was bred by the Dukes of Gordon on their Scottish property. It owes its black and tan coloration to a Collie ancestor.
character
Setters are generally affectionate and temperamental. They are not always easy to train and should be guided with a firm hand and given plenty of exercise.
