The Gordon Setter

Sporting Breed

Christmas at the Leadra Kennels

The Gordon Setter is one of the more "talkative" dogs and can have quite a varied vocabulary for different situations. Though not Italian, their wagging tail plays a big role in their conversations. A great family dog who is good with children and will tend to move away from an annoyance rather then growl or snarl. Training should be early and consistent as the Gordon Setter can develop a stubborn streak. Brisk exercise is very important as well as having a place to roam (fenced yard). They are not recommended for apartment life. Brush as necessary to maintain its coat. Look for tangles and burrs especially after being outdoors.

Book Suggestions


We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
