English Setter

Newborn English setter puppies are generally white, but coat coloring appears gradually, and the colors become more intense at 2-3 months. Even as puppies, these dogs instinctively react quickly to moving objects. The English setter has long had an important role as a bird dog, their popularity coincided with the introduction of hunting guns. This breed which appeared with English setters in the first dog show in the United Kingdom in 1895, is said to be derived from spaniel stock.

English setters are known for their stamina and hunting ability, so their natural inclination to track quarry should be controlled early on. They can be good household dogs, but they need lots of training and exercise.

Their elegantly wavy hair requires daily brushing to avoid matting.
