The
Irish Setter, also known as the Red Setter, is a
breed of gundog and family dog. The term Irish Setter is commonly
used to encompass the Show-bred dog recognized by the AKC as well as the
field-bred Red Setter recognized by the Field Dog Stud Book.
The breed
Irish Red Setter was developed in Ireland in the 1700s from the
Old Spanish Pointer, setting spaniels, and early
Scottish setters.
Early
Irish Setters were white with red blotches on their coats, but today
the Setter's coat is a rich mahogany color. The Irish Red and White Setter
is more closely related to those early Setters.
The
Irish Setter's name in Gaelic is Madra rua or "red dog".
Originally, the Irish Setter was bred for hunting, specifically for setting or
pointing upland gamebirds. They are similar to other members of the setter
family such as the English Setter and Gordon Setter.
Irish Setters are extremely swift, with an excellent sense of
smell and are hardy over any terrain and in any climate. The Irish Setter
is used for all types of hunting. It even works well on wetlands.
Today, the
Irish Setter is more commonly found as a companion and family pet.
