About the Breed
The English Setter combines great physical beauty and charm
of character with working ability. Setting dogs were first
heard of in this country during the 16th century.
As a breed the English Setter owe a great deal to Mr. Edward
Laverack and Mr. Purcell Llewellin. During the 19th century
these men did much to improve their appearance and working
ability. The purpose of a setter was to located game and then
dropdown to indicate its presence. The breed was first taken
to the United States in 1874, and here they soon began to
make a strong impression in field trials.
The English Setter is still highly valued as a gundog and
can be trained quite easily for this purpose. These dogs enjoy
an outdoor life and should never be kept in a small apartment,
deprived of the opportunity for proper exercise. They have
been bred in various colour combinations with white, including
liver, lemon and black forms. There is also a tri-colour,
which is black, white and tan.
Providing you have adequate space, this gentle and affectionate
breed will be an ideal choice as a family pet, although the
coat will require grooming and some trimming to maintain its
good condition. It is customary to bathe these dogs prior
to a show and then comb the coat flat while it is still wet,
leaving it to dry in this position.
Height 25-27 in (63.5-68.5), bitches 24-25½ in
Weight 66 lb (30 kg), bitches 56-62 lb
Coat type/colour The coat should be slightly wavy, long and
silky with breeching and fore-legs well feathered. Colours
black-and-white, lemon-and-white, liver-and-white or tri-colour.
