English Setter

[GottaLuvMutts]

Active outdoors and relaxed indoors, English Setters are very adaptable companions. They also have impeccable manners, treating both family members and new faces with respect and kindness. English Setters can also be a little sensitive: They appreciate lots of attention and want to be involved with their families. English Setters are extremely athletic outside, making them the perfect jogging partners. Yet, they have a gentle and playful way with children.

Loaded with stamina and strength, English Setters need plenty of room to run. So, they might get a little restless living in an apartment. A good, vigorous walk every day will keep them healthy and happy.
English Setters can live as long as 12 years. Generally healthy, some English Setters can develop hip and elbow dysplasia. They are fairly easy to groom, just needing a good brushing every few days. English Setters shed very little.
