The Irish Setter

Sporting Group

From Setter Rescue

The Irish Setter is a fun loving, tongue hanging out, ball chasing friend. It is not an aggressive dog, just enthusiastic. They need plenty of exercise and room to run. They exercise much better when with a companion. If they're not provided with a companion they may go off to find one. This is not an apartment dog, especially during its long period of puppyhood. Easily housebroken for sanitary purposes, but can get into trouble if not properly trained and socialized early. Its long coat needs a lot of brushing, at least weekly and probably daily.

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.
