The English Setter has been "setting" game birds in Britain since the 14th century - making it one of the oldest breeds of gun dog. The English Setter is descended from Spanish land spaniels whose job it was to 'set' game birds for the hunters' nets. In addition to being treasured companions, English Setters today excel in field work, agility, and tracking.

The adult English Setter stands up to 25 inches tall. His coat can be black, liver, lemon with white, orange, or it can be solid white or tri-colored. He has long hair or feathers on his chest, body, legs, and tail, and requires regular brushing. Puppies are born white and begin to change color after the first week.

Like the other setters, the English Setter is known for his expressive face, graceful gait, and boisterous personality. He is an affectionate animal with boundless energy who thrives on human companionship and attention. This is not a dog to be left alone for long periods. He may be a good watch dog but with his love of people, he is not an effective guard dog.

The English Setter is intelligent, but he also has a mind of his own. He does best with a consistent and loving approach to training which should begin early. This is a sporting dog who requires an outlet for all that energy! Plenty of good romping room and long runs will ensure that he remains healthy and happy.
