Red & Whites in the Field

The Irish Red and White Setter is a striking dog in the field. He should cover ground in a fluid manner and hunt with a powerful, elegant style. The pearly white coat with vivid red patches that they are named for makes them easy to spot in most cover and at distance. They are not as large as Gordon Setters, and of a more athletic build compared to their racy, full Red cousins and while similar in size to the English Setter, they very much have their own style. They have less coat than the other Setters, and that coat tends to have a different texture, making them easier to groom after hunting. And they hunt as they do everything else — with boundless joy and enthusiasm.
