Summary
About English Setter
Elegant, medium‑large gundog with a silky belton coat and feathered tail. Gentle, devoted and people‑oriented, it suits active families who enjoy long daily walks. Sensitive to harsh handling, it responds best to kind, consistent training and regular grooming.
About Norrbottenspets
The Norrbottenspets is a rare Nordic spitz: small to medium, athletic, with a foxlike look and curled tail. Bred in Sweden/Finland for forest bird hunting, it is vocal, alert, loyal, and reserved with strangers. Needs daily exercise, mental work, and close family involvement.
