Introduction

The players are thrilled to see a magnificent red and white, which is fixed in the form of a statue. These medium to large bird dogs are powerful, solid and sinful, possessing enough stamina and bird spirit to get the job done twice a day and on Sundays. The stunning coat-burning red "island" pearls float on the white sea - a practical task: it enables the hunter to spot his dog a short distance away. The beautiful face projects a deep but polite expression.

History

Before all we knew and loved, all were red-red Irish setters, a red-and-white color of the hills and bogies of Ireland since at least the 1600s. In those days settlers would crawl with their eyebrows at game birds, then stop in the "setting" position and signal with their tails until a hunter threw a net at the birds. The nets eventually gave way to firearms, and the best setter lines adapted their serious style of hunting to new technology.

General Appearance

The Irish Red and White Setter is bred primarily for the area. The standard set here should be interpreted primarily from this point of view and all judges of the bench show should be encouraged to judge the performances primarily from the working point of view. The appearance is strong and powerful, well balanced and proportional without the lumber; Athletic rather than running with an aristocratic, keen and intelligent attitude.
