The English Setter (Choice Bird dogs of Royalty )
The English Setter is one of the oldest
breeds of gun dog, with a history that
traces back to the 14th century. It was
developed over hundreds of years
from spaniel stock. It was originally
called a Setting Spaniel, used for
finding and "setting"birds. Before
the use of firearms became
widespread (19th century), hunters
used nets to ensnare game birds.
They would spread a large net over a
wide area, including the dog.
When the hunter made a loud noise to cause the birds to fly, they would be caught in the net and easily harvested.
The Setting Spaniel, and later the Setter, crouched down on its front legs as though bowing to indicate the presence
and location of birds. This unique stance, which facilitated the use of the net, is where the Setter got its name. Later,
when guns began to be used in hunting, a more upright, pointing stance was bred into the Setter so he could be
more easily seen (and not accidentally shot!).
Today, Setters use a variety of stances to indicate the presence and location of birds, including standing still and
leaning forward intensely, set pointing. Acceptable points with tail from 12 to 2 0:clock positions. With unshakable
Steadfast manor. On all fours or one paw lifted,and using the Nose( not eyes).You have obtained a Quality Gun Dog
The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Mr. Edward Laverack (1800-1877), who developed his own strain
of the breed by careful breeding during the 19th century in England and to another Brit, Mr. R. Purcell Llewellin
(1840-1925), who based his strain upon Laverack's and developed the working Setter. Today, you still hear the term
Llewellin Setter, but this is not a separate breed. Instead, it is often used as an alternate name for a field-bred
English Setter. Always start with proved bloodlines and reputable breeders that have health records, FDSB
certificates.
