Irish Setter

 

The coat is medium, smooth, with the color red or chestnut. In order to keep it matt-free, it requires frequent brushing. In winter, the undercoat is plentiful, and the top coat is excellent. In locations like the tail, ears, breast, legs and body, their coats are also to feed. Irish setters are 24 to 28 inches (61 to 71 cm), 65-75 lbs (29-34 kg) and females between 55 and 65 lbs (65 to 65 kg) in height (25 to 29 kg). The Irish Setter FCI Breed Standard specifies a standard of 23 to 26.5 cm (58 to 67 cm) for males. Females are from 21.5 to 24.5 cm (55 to 62 cm) tall. Deep chest dogs with tiny waists are Irish setters. An Irish Setter's life expectancy tends to be around 11 to 12 years

The Irish Setter is a niche, gundog race and family dog, literally a "Red Setter". The name "Irish Setter" is used to include the show dog recognized by the American Kennel Club and the "Red Setter" recognized by the "Field Dog Stud Book."

The American Kennel Club registered Irish Setters in a myriad of colors, and it wasn't all Irish Sets in the late 19th century. The Irish Setter is described by Frank Forester, a sports writer from the 19th century: "The Irish Setter has a more cute, cornered and wiry frame, a longer head, and a less silky and straighter coat than the English ones. Its color should be deep reddish-orange and white, a common mark is a white strip between the eyes and a white ring, with white stickers on the neck and a white tail."

History

 In Cais, the 'De canibus Britannicus,' which was published in 1570, is one of the first references to the 'setter' or setting dog (with a revised version published in 1576). The original Latin text reads: Translated from: 

The Dogge nicknamed the Setter Index, in Latin: there is another Dogges, suitable for fowling, who either with their feet or their tongues don't make sound when following the game. They carefully attend their Master, framing their situation in such a way that it is good for him to show and show, to go ahead, to backshoot, to incline to the right, or to yeald on the left. He is swift, sure, silent, when he has discovered the byrde. He remains his steppes and doesn't go farther, wiping the narrow, hidden eye and laying the belly down to the floor and slowing like a worm.When he comes closer to the site where the byrde is, he lays him in dust and, with a stamp of his paw, betrays the position of the last residence of the byrden. This sort of dog is said to be in Index, the Setter, and is in deede a name most consistent and of the best quality.

It would be wrong to infer that the above described dog resembled the Irish Setter (or any setter) as we presently know the race. Caius referred to a kind of span, probably extinct today. The working behavior of current Irish Setters resembled the description of the job of this early pillar of the race. Caius said of this early dog, "Most of their skin is white, and if it is marked with spots it is frequently red, and is slightly large." If so, then selective breeding methods are sure of the solid red coloring of today's Irish Setter.

Additionally, the Country Farme by Richard Surflet and Gerverase Markham published in 1616 may be found in the early literature. They wrote: "Another type of land spannyels called Setters are also present."

It is evident that the "setter" type of dog came into its own right at the beginning of the 18th century. It's also clear that the Irish started to breed their own type actively. In 1793, for instance, the French Park de Freyne family started to collect comprehensive records. The Lord Clancarty, Lord Dillon and the Marquis of Waterford also known as the important Irish Gentry who had bred at that period.

As early as 1845, Ireland was mainly known as red or "very red or red or red and white or a lemon or white with deep chestnut," as Yuatt claimed. It was noted. The preference for a solid red-colored dog clearly affects the look of the typical Irish-bred dog.

The Irish Red Setter Club in Dublin originally developed the race standard for contemporary Irish Setters, which was adopted on 29 March 1886. It consisted of a scale of 100 points, with a specific number of points for each physical feature of the dog. Apart from minor modifications, the point system was subsequently eliminatedthe standard remains largely unchanged today in most countries where the breed is formally recognised.

The Irish Setter was created to search for the location or location of upland gamebirds. They are an untiring, widespread hunter, and perfectly adapted to wet or dry fields. The Irish Setter then has a point position, which shows the direction in which the bird is hidden with its excellent smell, in order to locate a mark (or bird).

In the early 19th century, the Irish Setter was brought to the USA.

In 1874, the American Field created the Field Dog Stud Book and the US Dog Registry. This Field Dog Stud Book is the oldest record of purebred in the U.S. At that time, even when bred from sires and dams of different races, dogs can be registered. The llewellin setter was grown at approximately that time using the Lavarack breeding blood lines of English setter and bloodlines, inter alia, of the native Irish Setters. The red Irish Setter became a popular dog show ring about the same period.
