General Information On Irish Setters

The Irish Setter is a member of the gundog group, very popular nowadays as both a working gundog and family pet. The irish Setter has been successfully shown and has won many top awards at all levels in the dog showing world.

Irish Setter litters can be quite large, 16 puppies not unheard of. It is more common to have between 8 and 10 pups though.

The Irish Setters outstanding attribute is its rich, chestnut to mahogany coloured coat. It is a silky, flat coat with feathering at the legs, ears and on the tail. Balanced and elegant, the breed strides through the show ring, or alongside its owner, with its head held high. The are quite muscular dogs and should not carry any excess weight.

The Irish Setter breed standard does not contain a height range, however on average dogs stand at 65cms at the withers and weigh 30.5kgs, bitches average at 61cms from the withers and weigh 26kgs.

This breed was very popular in the 1970´s and many health and temperament problems appeared. In recent years many of these problems have been eliminated. Irish Setters are known to be sensitive to penicillin and some other antibiotics. They are also prone to hip dysplasia and screening for this is very important.
