Setter

The Setter is a centuries-old breed of gundog, originating in the British Isles.

Bred to locate and point out game birds, these dogs are renowned for their intelligence, athleticism, and striking good looks.

The Setter's history dates back to the 16th century when they were used by English royalty for hunting.

These loyal and devoted dogs have become popular family companions, thanks to their gentle and affectionate nature.

With their long, silky coats and elegant gait, Setters are a sight to behold.

They are also highly trainable and excel in agility, obedience, and tracking.

Whether you're looking for a hunting partner or a loving companion, the Setter is an excellent choice.
