Breed History
The Irish setter is the youngest of the three AKC setter breeds and is believed to have descended from the English Setter. Irish hunters wanted and needed a fast-working dog with a strong nose. This breed’s bright red color was easy to spot while in the outdoors. The Irish Setter’s ability to work with his human handler is second to none.
Personality
This breed is known for having a very focused and eager to please personality. They have very steady demeanors and tend to get along well with other pets in the household. They are not aggressive dogs but are active and do well with daily outdoor activity time. This breed does make a very good family pet.
Appearance
Irish Setters should be provided with thorough and daily brushings. A weekly to bi-weekly bath will help to keep their coats clean and shiny. Being that this breed does enjoy outdoor time, extra time should be invested in making sure they are kept clean and well-maintained. This will not only allow this dog to look his best but feel his best.
Care
The Irish Setter is energetic and does enjoy outdoor playtime with family. Keeping this breed fueled with a balance of meat-based protein and micronutrients, as well as healthy carbs and fats, is important. Irish Setter owners recommend feeding this breed two meals each day, spaced about twelve hours apart. This will help to ensure the dog is provided with the proper nutrients he needs. It is also suggested that his teeth get cleaned a minimum of three times a week. Failing to keep his teeth clean can contribute to health issues. Although properly cleaning his teeth will take some practice to get good at, in time, this will become easier for you and your pup.
Breed Size
- The Irish Setter stands between twenty-five and twenty-seven inches tall upon maturity.
- This breed weighs sixty and seventy pounds.
