We have rescued Irish Setters and now have our 7th and 8th IS. Both are over 80 pounds and very tall although they think they are lap dogs. They are absolutely great dogs with lovable personalities. Our male is 8 years old and still acts like a pup. They both live going for rides after their free runs outside.
My almost 8 year old Irish Setter is probably the laziest dog around whenever there's no visitors. He'd absolutely love to spend the entire day lazing about on the couch or by the wood stove and only getting up to do his business or eat, to the point where I practically have to drag him outside for his daily exercise.
I had an Irish Setter that came to visit me. His owner lived about 4 roads away and when he escaped he was always found sitting at my door. Got to the stage that the owner gave me his number and I'd ring and tell him that I had RED at my house lol
@@EranRicos and what wd you say when the owner failed to contain his dog and the dog got hit by a car and died in terrible agony on the road? or the car driver swerved to avoid the dog on the road and crashed, killing another driver or pedestrian?
I grew up in a neighborhood with Ir Set's, Afghan Hounds, Goldens and Beagles. I thought the setters were the more stately dogs but as I got older I saw things the Goldens were doing as a kind of next level intelligence. Now I never see a Setter. Everything is these Pit Bulls.
Mostly correct but the video only discusses bench Irish Setters. They don’t even mention the field variety. Big differences especially in grooming and hunting ability. Also the breed not only mentally matures slowly but physically too. Most females don’t go into heat until over 18 months.
Excuse me. (**) The word is "bred" as gun dogs. Not "bread". You might want to fix that. Bread is something you eat, and it's also a slang expression for money. "Bred" means created from selective breeding. Breeding is the selective, human-directed mating of two animals to produce young, either dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep etc. Otherwise it's really very good material, well expressed. Especially about the maturity rate.

Cons? Cons?! There are no cons when it comes to Irish Setters.
Do they shed?

My 11 IS year old is still hyper. We still have to go on closes to a 2 mile walk or doggy park at least 2 -3 times a week.

It's a nuisance that stickies show up at the end of the video, blocking things you want to see or read.

This is wrong. There are 2 types. Hanging dos are not as big as the stupid show dogs………please fix this.

Adopt, don’t shop
Not a thing wrong with buying a responsibly bred health tested dog
