Book Description
The Irish Red and White Setter is a breed of dog that is a member of the Setter typing. As with all Setters, the Irish Red and White Setter is classified as a gundog and is included in the sporting group in Canada and America. The breed is virtually identical in temperament and use to its related breeds: the Irish Setter, the English Setter and the Gordon Setter. The Irish Red and White Setter was developed to be able to locate the whereabouts of game birds and then indicate where the birds are to the hunters. The Irish Red and White Setter mainly uses its incredible sense of smell to track game birds throughout varied terrain. Within the United Kingdom, the Irish Red and White Setter is mainly used to hunt grouse, partridge, pheasant and woodcock. The breed was incredibly popular but has become virtually extinct in recent years. There are multiple dedicated organizations that are working to maintain the Irish Red and White Setter breed and it has now been recognized by all major kennel clubs. The Irish Red and White Setter is less athletically built than most other setters: it has a heavy body and a broad head. However despite this, the Irish Red and White Setter is still a relatively athletic breed and has high levels of endurance. As the name suggests: the Irish Red and White Setter must have a red and white coat - it is actually a white dog with red patches! The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Irish Red and White Setter. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Irish Red and White Setter with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Irish Red and White Setter is a devoted, affectionate and loyal breed which makes them a perfect household pet. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Irish Red and White Setter has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Irish Red and White Setter has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a Irish Red and White Setter's basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices. This guide will give an in-depth explanation on training your Irish Red and White Setter, raising your Irish Red and White Setter from a puppy, grooming, health care and everything in between! "The Irish Red and White Setter: A Complete and Comprehensive Owners Guide to: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding and Caring for Your Irish Red and White Setter," by Michael Stonewood is the perfect purchase or gift for a first time Irish Red and White Setter owner. This guide includes sections on caring for a puppy, breeding, health care, training, the basic cost of owning an Irish Red and White Setter and much more.

Book Description
Over 60% Full color pictures. The Irish Red and White Setter is a breed of dog, more specifically a setter. As with all the setters and the Pointer, it is classified as a gundog in the UK and is included in the sporting group in America and Canada. It is virtually identical in use and temperament to the related Irish Setter and its other setter cousins, the Gordon and English setters, but is more often found as a working gun dog.The original purpose of the breed was to hunt gamebirds. In the UK, their quarry can be partridge or grouse, pheasant, ptarmigan, blackgame, snipe or woodcock as all these birds try to avoid predators by hiding rather than flying away. Overseas bird dogs are used to hunt quail, willow grouse, sand grouse, guinea fowl, sagehen, francolin.Despite the breed's early origins, it almost became extinct until dedicated breeders managed to revive interest and restore the Irish Red and White setter to a viable position. It is still in a vulnerable position but has gained recognition from all major kennel clubs. The function of setters is to find and locate game by quartering ground as it searches for the scent carried in the wind by birds such as grouse, partridge, pheasant or snipe. It is fast and wide ranging. As it gallops in its quest to seek scent, its head is carried high. Once it locates the birds, it will freeze on point or "set" indicating to its handler where the birds are hiding. It may slightly crouch but its position will remain tense, immobile and rigid. The dog's head will remain raised as it savours the airborne scent and it intently stares in the direction of where the birds are hiding. Its tail will be held level with its back.[1][2] Setters literally show the hunters exactly where the birds are.[3]The breed is classified in the gundog group by the Kennel Club in the UK and in the sporting group by the American and Canadian Kennel Clubs.[4][5][6] The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) classify the breed in Group 7, Pointing dogs.[7]The Irish Red and White setter still has an ingrained natural working ability, so when correctly trained and given the appropriate opportunity, will work well performing its original function.[8]They can take longer to train than other gun dogs, but once trained, they are loyal and reliable companions. They need firm, decisive, but not harsh, training
