Product Description
From the Inside Flap
Built with the elegance of a thoroughbred horse, the Irish Setter prances his exceptional grace and beauty, garbed in chestnut red satin, whilst proudly raising his refined head. Beyond the Irish Setter’s brilliance in the show ring and prowess in the field, this jovial gundog bursts with Irish charm and friendly nature, endearing him to families around the world. As talented and energetic as any sporting breed, the Irish Setter requires a special owner to train him properly, and this book offers excellent direction in that regard plus chapters on the breed’s history, character and breed standard, as well as proper selection, feeding, preventative health care and showing. In addition to an extremely authoritative text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full colour, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with an Irish Setter. Whether it’s training problems, allergies or fleas, this book is the way to prevention, providing the reader with the necessary guidance an owner needs from puppyhood through the senior years. Recommended by top breeders and trainers, this book is the responsible first choice of every new owner of an Irish Setter. Topics discussed include: History of the Irish Setter; Characteristics of the Irish Setter; The Irish Setter Breed Standard; Your Irish Setter puppy; Everyday care of your Irish Setter; Housebreaking and training your Irish Setter; Health care of your Irish Setter; When your Irish Setter gets old; Showing your Irish Setter.

The Irish Setter has been termed an artist's dream. In the world of dog art, they are considered to be the most beautiful of all dogs. With their brilliant red coat, long velvety ears and regal carriage, they command attention wherever they appear. Blessed with typical Irish charm and joviality, the Irish Setter captures the heart and imagination of everyone who sees or meets this dashing rogue. Despite its regal bearing, the Irish Setter personality is affectionate, playful and full of mischief. Independent, highly intelligent and most anxious to please, this is a superb family companion who can prance around the show ring and still hunt admirably in the field. Like many other hunting dogs, the Irish Setter is an ancient breed. Although Irish folklore offers many theories on its ancestry, history records that most setter breeds evolved from spaniel-type dogs that had their origins in Spain and were so named after that country. Breed historians find references to an Irish Spaniel in 'The Laws of Howell', an ancient tome written before the 11th century.

though this was a very informative book about the Irish Setter Breed. It tells you about it's caracteristics, how to train your new puppy and many other things. I have been trying to decide which breed to buy and for sure I will use this book again since there is a big collection with all the different breeds.

A MUST HAVE FOR IRISH SETTER OWNERS
11 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
I would strongly recommend this book to anybody in love with Irish Setters, but particularly to the uniniciated future owner, like myself.
It covers all aspects involved in looking after this breed and explains in excellent detail all anyone needs to know from the puppy stage through to the mature pet.
In addition the book is illustrated with superb photographs plus an explanation of how healthy dogs should look and behave.
I can't wait to have my puppy home in a few weeks time!

I purchased this book a couple of days after buying my children an Irish Setter puppy. The book covers everything about this breed. My oldest son really enjoyed reading it and found it to be very interesting and useful. It also includes lots of great photos.
