About The Breed

Known for their striking red coat and outgoing personality, the Irish Setter is an elegant, energetic, and friendly breed. Originally bred for hunting and fieldwork, Irish Setters are highly active, intelligent, and love to run and play, making them ideal companions for families and active individuals. They are affectionate, gentle, and good with children, often forming strong bonds with their families. Irish Setters are social dogs that get along well with other pets, though their high energy levels require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Their long, silky coat requires regular grooming, but their joyful, playful nature and striking appearance make them a beloved choice for dog lovers.
