The exact origins of the Irish Setter give rise to much speculation.
However its ancestry may be traced to a dog known as the setting spaniel.
Crosses were made with Pointers, English Setters, Gordon Setters, and other spaniels.
The Irish Setter was originally bred to hunt upland game.
Irish Setters are a very energetic dog who requires plenty of exercise.
As such they really need to live on a farm.
They are also a dog that requires attention and affection.
They are easily trained.
Daily brushing is the minimum Irish Setter grooming requirement.
