The early Setters were either all red or red-and-white in colour, and even to-day the latter variety is still bred and occasionally exhibited in Ireland. In this country the Irish Setter has achieved its greatest popularity as a show dog. Several breeders confine their activities to the production of field dogs, and are inclined to doubt the working abilities of many of the show bench specimens, on the grounds that they are too elegant to be robust and too highly-strung to be tractable in the field. However, the Irish Setter Field Trial Association and the Ulster Irish Red Setter Club help to keep the breed on a stable base by annually promoting field trials for it."Please note our policy of FREE Shipping and Insurance worldwide on all orders of $10.00 and above.

It is safe to say, however, that a red and white setter was known to have existed in Ireland for many years before the breed was introduced into England in the early 19th century. Although pure red is the desired colour nowadays, faint white markings are permissible. The Irish Setter compares favourably with the Gordon and English Setters, and, although at one time it was reputed to be wild and unreliable, proper training has remedied this without destroying its spirited nature."

In domestic circles he is a charming companion, affectionate and sweet-natured. The Irish Setter's coat should be of fair length, flat with no curl, and much of his handsome appearance is due to the silky feathering of legs and the symmetrical fringe of the tail.
