Summary
About Irish Setter
Graceful Irish gundog with a mahogany red, feathered coat needing regular grooming. Medium‑large, athletic and high‑energy, it thrives on daily vigorous exercise and mental work. Affectionate, people‑oriented and playful, it’s good with families but needs consistent, positive training.
About Alpine Dachsbracke
Compact, sturdy Austrian scent hound with a long body, short strong legs and a dense, weather‑resistant red coat. Calm and affectionate at home but driven by a strong hunting instinct, it needs plenty of exercise, nose work and consistent, positive training to thrive.
