Summary
About Australian Terrier

About Irish Red Setter
An energetic, affectionate pointing dog with a chestnut-red coat, long ears, and an elegant, athletic build.

Playful and often slow to mature, this breed is best suited to an active home with time for training, companionship, and regular grooming.
