 Dog Breeds

Irish Setter

According to the KUSA breed standard, the correct name for the dog is the Irish Setter. That's the official name in South Africa. But it is often referred to as the Irish Red Setter in international standards and it is often called the "Red Setter" in colloquial terms because the coat is solid red.

Irish setters developed in Ireland from hunting dogs. In the 18th century, they were red with white markings, but by selective breeding the white was discouraged leaving the mahogany colour we have today. 

Irish setters are friendly dogs, and not considered watchdogs. They love a romp in the country. 

The dogs have a long, lean head with a kind expression. The coat is long with graceful feathering.

An Irish setter can be any height, but they are normally around 61 - 65 cms at shoulder.
