What is the typical temperament of an English Setter with family and children?
They are generally gentle, affectionate and people oriented, which makes them good companions for families and respectful children. Most are sensitive and soft natured rather than pushy, but their enthusiasm and size mean they can be boisterous, so supervision and basic manners training are important.
How much exercise does an English Setter really need each day?
This is a high energy hunting breed that usually needs at least 60 to 90 minutes of solid daily exercise along with mental stimulation. Off leash running in a safe area, scent games and structured activities like field work or hiking help prevent restlessness and destructive behavior at home.
Are English Setters good apartment dogs or do they need a house with a yard?
They can live in an apartment if the owner is very committed to daily exercise, but they are generally better suited to homes where they have space to move. A securely fenced yard is helpful, as their strong hunting and scenting instincts can lead them to wander if given the chance.
How much grooming does the feathered coat of an English Setter require?
The silky, feathered coat tangles easily and usually needs brushing at least several times per week to prevent mats, especially behind the ears, under the legs and on the tail. Regular trimming of the feet, ears and feathering plus routine ear cleaning helps keep the coat neat and reduces the chance of skin and ear problems.
What are common health problems in English Setters that owners should watch for?
They are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, some inherited eye conditions and autoimmune thyroid disease. Deafness occurs in the breed more often than in many others, and like many medium large dogs they can be at risk for bloat, so breeders that screen their dogs and owners who monitor for sudden abdominal distress are important.
Do English Setters really tend to be deaf, and how can I tell if a puppy has hearing issues?
Congenital deafness is more common in this breed, particularly in dogs with a lot of white on the head. Early signs include not reacting to noises, sleeping through loud sounds or being startled when touched, and responsible breeders often use hearing tests on puppies to identify partial or complete deafness.
Are English Setters difficult to train because of their bird dog background?
They are intelligent and willing but also sensitive and easily discouraged by harsh methods, so they respond best to calm, reward based training. Their strong interest in birds and scents can make recall and off leash manners challenging, which means early, consistent training and careful management are essential.
Can an English Setter be left alone during a full workday?
They are very people focused and can become distressed or bored if left alone for long stretches on a regular basis. Most do better with a schedule that includes mid day breaks, adequate exercise before and after work, and enrichment such as safe chew items or puzzle feeders.
How well do English Setters generally get along with other dogs and pets?
Most are sociable with other dogs if they are well socialized from a young age. They usually coexist peacefully with cats they are raised with, but their hunting heritage means small, fast moving animals can trigger chasing behavior, so introductions and supervision are important.
At what age does an English Setter typically calm down and mature?
They often remain puppy like and high spirited well into their second or even third year. With consistent training and appropriate outlets for their energy they usually become calmer, steady companions in adulthood while still retaining an active, playful nature.
