Introduction

Bred as gundogs, Irish Setters are very intelligent, high-energy dogs that are eager to please. As happy-go-lucky and affectionate characters, they have found their way into the hearts and homes of families around the world, making fun playmates for children and loyal companions for active individuals.

History

The Irish Setter was developed in Ireland by crossing Scottish Setters with old-type Spaniels, and its origins are believed to date back to the 16th century. Their popularity as gundogs grew in the 1800s, and by the 1900s, their stunning red coats were wowing judges in the show ring. The onset of Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in the 1940s almost wiped out the breed, but thanks to advancements in medicine and detection, healthy breed numbers have been able to return.

Personality

Lovable, cheerful, and playful, the Irish Setter is an affectionate, lively, and loyal family pet that forms strong bonds with its people, including children and other pets. Too friendly to be guard dogs, they’ll greet all-comers with a waggy tail after an initial bark. They are intelligent and quick to learn, and although obedient most of the time, they are renowned for having a mind of their own and selective hearing when it suits them.

Health Issues Irish Setters are generally a healthy breed, but known hereditary conditions that can arise include PRA, Canine Leucocyte Adhesion Deficiency (CLAD), and hip dysplasia.
Care Tips Irish Setters have moderate maintenance needs in terms of grooming, but exercise needs are high. Grooming: a twice-weekly brush and comb will keep tangles at bay, but this may need to be more frequent if getting wet and muddy on walks. Feeding: two meals per day of high-quality food. Exercise: one hour of vigorous exercise split into two daily walks is the absolute minimum for this active breed, ideally at least two hours, with room to run and play in a secure garden between walks. For active owners, they make great cycling and jogging companions.
