Also know as the Irish Red Setter or Red Setter, these racy, active dogs thrive on physical activity. Old Spanish Pointers ( not known outside of Spain), Setting Spaniels and early Scottish Setters have been included in this dog's evolution. Faster than most other companion dogs, they seek out other dogs to play with perhaps because they enjoy running rings around them. These dogs are exuberant extroverts with a joy for life. They like lots of exercise. Groom regularly 2 to 3 times a week. Irish Setters weigh 60 to 70 lbs. and stand 25-27" at the shoulders. Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
