Irish Setters
Red sporting hounds
Irish Setters are a breed of sporting dog with a distinctive mahogany or chestnut-red coat, originally bred in Ireland for hunting game birds.
They're known for their elegant appearance, feathered fur, and energetic, friendly temperament.
The breed requires substantial exercise and is sometimes considered exuberant to the point of being scatterbrained: Our Irish Setter knocked over every guest at the party.
