Michael Stonewood The Irish Setter

The Irish Setter is a breed of dog that is a member of the setter typing. The term 'Irish Setter' is commonly used to describe both the field-bred Red Setter recognized in the 'Field Dog Study Book, ' and the show-bred dog recognized by the American Kennel Club. The Irish Setter was bred for hunting purposes; specifically for the purposes of locating and pointing out upland gamebirds. The breed uses its incredible sense of smell to locate their prey. They are a wide-ranging hunter who is more than capable of hunting in both fields and wet or dry moorland terrain. The Irish Setter has a moderately long, silky double coat that is normally either of a red or chestnut coloration. The breed's undercoat is abundant in winter weather, while the top coat is fine all year around. The Irish Setter's coat feathers around their tail, chest, ears, legs and body. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Irish Setter. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Irish Setter with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Irish Setter is an incredibly friendly, intelligent, enthusiastic and loyal household pet. They get along well with strangers and small children. However it is important to note that the Irish Setter has a high prey drive, due to their hunting history. It is therefore not recommend to keep an Irish Setter in the same household as a smaller pet (such as a cat) - although it is possible to socialize your Irish Setter with small animals during its puppyhood which could lead to the Irish Setter living peacefully with smaller household pets. The Irish Setter responds well to human interaction and companionship. The breed is therefore relatively easy to train with positive reinforcement. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Irish Setter has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Irish Setter has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity.
