Function

A setter discreetly looks for game by sight; systematic and methodical hunting is carried out. When the prey is met, the dog gets immobile instead of following the game. Setters derive their name from their distinguishing position; a kind of hook or "set" when they discover their target. Once the dog indicates where the birds are, the birds are flushed, so that the next weapons may be fired. In the past, a web was used to catch birds before weapons were employed 

The game birds' scent is airborne, so that they can perceive it, the setter has a high head and should never be following a foot scent. [6] Most setters are born with a natural hunting propensity. Dogs who show enthusiasm and interest in birds are classified as "birdy" and trainers are looking for puppies that have this specific characteristic. Quail as a chosen or domesticated palms is generally used for training.
