English setter
Spotted bird dog
A breed of medium-to-large sporting dog with a long, silky coat typically white with flecks or patches of color—often called belton markings.
English setters were developed in England for bird hunting, trained to locate game and "set" (crouch or freeze) to indicate its position.
They're known for their gentle, affectionate temperament: Our English setter is hopeless as a guard dog but wonderful with children.
