Dog Types
Although the history of the English Setter goes back some 500 years, modern representatives of the breed were greatly influenced by Edward Lave rack who acquired two pure English Setters in 1825 and began his breeding program. Later that century Lave rack stock was bred with setter stock for hunting. Standing 61-68 cm (24-27 in) and weighing in the region of 25-30 kg (55-66 lb), the English Setter is clean in outline and elegant both in appearance and in movement. Very-active and with a keen game sense, this breed is intensely friendly and good-natured. The long, silky coat is found in a range of interesting color combinations, black and white (known as 'Blue Belton'), orange and white (Orange Belton), lemon and white (Lemon Belton), liver and white (Liver Belton) or tri-color which is Blue Belton and tan or Liver Belton and tan.
