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.


Excerpted from Irish Setter (Pet Love) by Margaret Williams. Copyright © 2000. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

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.
