BREED DESCRIPTION
Known in Britain since the 14th century, the English Setters were valued for their working ability rather than
appearance.

The English setter prefers country or suburban living. He's an outdoor type that should have lots of
exercise because he is so active.
Males will measure about 25 in, 64 cm. Females an inch less.

of the thighs, the back of the legs and the tail.
The coat needs regular brushing and some trimming to shape the
