Summary

Cheerful, energetic French scent hound with a low, sturdy build and rough golden‑red coat. Friendly and affectionate, good with children and dogs but strong prey drive. Intelligent yet independent; needs patient training, ample exercise, and regular but simple grooming.
About Irish Red Setter
An energetic, affectionate pointing dog with a chestnut-red coat, long ears, and an elegant, athletic build. Bred to find and point game birds, the Irish Red Setter needs plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and close interaction with its owner. Playful and often slow to mature, this breed is best suited to an active home with time for training, companionship, and regular grooming.
