The English Setter, one of three types of Setters (Irish and Gordon), is an affectionate pet that does well with children. An easy-going personality contributes to their ability to be comfortable with strangers and other pets. Because of their long coats they need to be brushed almost on a daily basis to keep it from knotting. The English Setter needs a lot of exercise and may be best suited to life in the country where they can enjoy a fenced yard.
