This is my favorite dog since a child, how beautiful they are, their color!

In Public school I used to walk past a corner lot where they owned an Irish Setter. She was beautiful and so gentle. Every day I would go by her house and talk to her through the fence. One day her owner saw me and allowed me to come into the backyard to meet her. She was thrilled to see me on her side of the fence. She bounded to me and when she jumped up to greet me, her paws sat on my shoulders and she looked me right in the eyes. Then she gave me a big, slobbery kiss. From that day forward, I had permission to enter with the promise that the gate would always be securely locked behind me whether I was in or out. I saw her five days a week, four times a day ( went home for lunch. ) One day in 6th grade, she wasn't in the yard. Rare, but ok. Two days, three. I couldn't bear it. I knew something wasn't right. Knocking on the door, I was informed by the owner that Sheila, the Setter had passed. He thanked me because his kids had just moved out over a year period just before I met her. My arrival, it seemed, had made her think life was still fun. I had not known when I met her that she was already ten years old. He said sixteen years was a good life for a dog. She had developed cataracts in the last year and without being told, I had changed our visits from running around the half acre lot to more quiet, sitting under the tree and rubbing her as I read. I have loved this breed ever since. Plus, they look like the tall cousins of long haired daschunds who seem to share the same colouring. My Grandma had one named Cindy. Love them, too. ( actually under 5 years I went to all my neighbours and offered to walk their dogs for free. I just wanted time with the dogs )

I grew up with one and have never had a better dog. Perfect farm dog. Always patrolled the property, enjoyed swimming in the pond,( stealing your fresh catch) eating out of the garden. he learned to shuck corn and even waited for red tomatoes before picking & eating

The Irish Setter is the John Cleese of the dog world-super intelligent with a great sense of fun.Very loving & lovable great with children &extremely attached to the family.This breed learns its families norms just by observing &is a naturally clean dog which is never greedy.God made this breed on a weekend when He had all the time to put the best qualities in this dog.We had 3over 20 years & even now cant bring ourselves to go for another breed

We first met the Irish in Northern Rhodesia, Zambia, Irish Flames Aster was the name, we called her Kruger. After a couple of litters we moved to Rhodesia proper in Salisbury the Capital we imported dogs from UK and RSA and turned out many beautiful dogs until our last Champion died in 2018 and we moved to Wales. There is NOTHING like an Irish Setter. No child is as safe as they are with an Irish. God gave a great gift to the world with the Setter.

Shane was 16 when he crossed the bridge. I just lost a lab and golden retriever within a year of each other. I now have a 14 week old Irish Setter named Buck. Best dogs ever!!! Gentle and loving even as pups!!

I fell in love with this breed of dog at first sight 😘😘😘

We named our setter......"Rusty"......he was a perfect combination of character and colour......! A wonderful dog......he used to leap over our back fence and trot down to the nearby RCMP Musical Ride training centre and join their herd of horses in their paddock.....he chasing after them and they chasing after him......the only problem with that was that Rusty was, at the end of their frolicking, he was covered up to his "knees" with their deposited "poop" and had to be hosed off......! He just loved to visit them and the herd of RCMP mounts sure loved to chase after him.....! They got along really well.....!

Really enjoyed the narrator. A lovely well spoken Northern accent

We started in Zambia in 1970 with Kruger I and ended up with Kruger IV. All DNA tests were done as KUSA advised. Kruger Kennels we were known as until we left in 2018

Best dog I ever had was an Irish Setter, her name was Beau, she was so smart and loyal, best dog ever!!!

We are on our 8th and 9th rescued Irish Setter, Rosie and Rudy. We love this bread. Great personalities albeit a little goofy at times. Rudy talk and slender at 85 lbs. Rosie a bit shorter and broader at 90 lbs. Great with children but love their attention when first seeing them. Love running and rides in the car. Very attentive until they see a squirrel or rabbit. Then becomes chaotic. Fantastic dogs.

I have met an Irish Setter dog 🐕 in the past. They are sweet dogs 🐕. Also very large dogs 🐕. Irish setter dogs 🐕 have lovely 🥰 fur. 😄

Had two growing up. Miss them so much. The last passed on 5 years ago and I have two cocker spaniels now. Going to get another setter soon! Love them

My favorite breed as well... I had the most beautiful S friend and she chased a Harley Davidson in October and was only 4 and a 1/2 years old, I was so happy after she got hit that she did not die little did I know that she was bleeding internally and passed away with 15 minutes at the animal hospital. It crushed me, I used to thank her on a daily basis, as she sat next to me in my vehicle, for being my best friend. I have two new irish setter pups now, and I love them both but neither could ever replace my Zola, she took my heart with her. Although my 2 new puppies are very active and one of them is very very misbehaved, All I can advise to you our setter lovers is to cherish every moment whether they're lying still next to you or ripping your garbage apart or chewing your favorite shoes, as all I can say is that 4 and a 1/2 years was not near enough time with my Zola. I was very lucky with her she had good behavior by a year old which is good for an irish setter... So I try to keep that in mind with my Zella who is the older of the 2 new pups. I absolutely love this breed I got Zola because of a meal Irish setter that my father had when I was 8 to 12 years old and I did a really good job picking her because she looked and acted a lot like that childhood Irish setter. But these 2 new ones are different in looks and personality of course. And yes that is to be expected. If I were ever to see an adult irish setter that was like my Zola and it was available for me to take home through adoption, I would certainly take her.

I'm addicted to those redheads. I have 2 right now. Had 7 at one point when I became a failed foster, and fell in love with the brothers I had for a couple of weeks. Best decision I ever made was to keep them and keep them together. They passed away from the same cancer 92 days apart in my home. They're forever together in a custom companion urn I had made. I'm have a female setter that's smaller than normal. She turned 18 on 1/25/2020. She shows little signs of slowing down. Owen is forever a momma's boy. He's not left my side since he came to live with me. He's 12 this year. For those that say Setters are hyper, they've never met my lazy bunch. I love this breed and really wish to be a home for the seniors. I have just fallen for them. If Casey is almost 19, St what age do we really call them senior. I've done nothing fancy with them love, food, and making them 100% family. They've thrived and all had good lives.

Oh heavenly furry angels 🐕🙏Thank you very much Animal Wised for your excellent video 👍

Kerry was ours.All the kids in our neighborhood loved her. It was like she was the dog for everyone. Just nice memories

My red setter is crazy but she she is calm she is CALM!

Florence is our baby and an angel

I’m getting a male Irish setter 8 week puppy on April 10th 2021, I’m thinking of naming him clifford

very good video!🐕

My whole life I've wanted one because they are so beautiful. I don't think I'm suitable to one at this time in my life though. But their coat is glorious.

Yes , have some experience with Ireish Setters . They tend to bark a lot . It can become exsessive . Setters absolutely need obbiedience training . DML

lovely dogs. My Paddy passed away on New year's eve 2021. Its still not sunk in that ill never see him again. 😢

I have one, the sweetest dog in the world!!! 🐶🐶

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍

I have a golden retriever with the color of a Irish setter

Would this be best bred with a poodle or golden retriever … I’m leaning retriever

I WISHD ID HAD DOG LIKED THAT

Had these dogs as a kid ... I can attest that they suffer from selective hearing! Then can hear a leash taken off of a hook any day, any time ... but a whistle to come back? 50/50 at best! LOL!

Remembering Benji

My neighbor had an Irish setter, his kids loved that dog.we live on the east slope of the rockies lots of porcupines the dog attacked on sight the 3rd time he killed the porcupines and got 200 quills in his snout and eyes . Whst would make such a great dog do that

The voice of the narrator reminds me of one of the characters from Harry Potter …. maybe Mad Eye Moody?

My family had 3 dogs when I was growing up.. a german shepherd, a mutt we had no idea what could possibly be in him (he won "most unusual" in a large, just for fun dog show), and an Irish setter. The Irish setter was beautiful and fun, but I have yet to ever see a more annoyingly disobedient, untrainable dog. (sorry, to fans of them) Couldn't even house train her. I can remember her well, but I can't remember what happened to her.. I think my Mom gave her away to someone because she was frustrating her, too.

Is bloat a problem with Irish setters?

My Irish setter is sooo disobedient lol 😂

Mine just turned 11. Had her since she was 1 yo. Ya, walks do nothing for this dog, even a 5k every day. They need to run free, at 30 mph, at least an hour, 3 times a week.

are these good first time dogs?

My dog is terrified of these dogs and no other breeds and I don’t know why. I’m not sure he knows they are dogs

I've had more than one person tell me that they not smart dogs. In my mind I do not expect a good field dog to be the best house dog, nor otherwise. I'm looking to get one for my Mother, doll pretty much. Polite thoughts welcome.
