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.
