When I was a young lad back in the 70's, we "rescued" an Irish Setter. To summerize, every bad thing posted in the previous 3 pages applies.
Since I started my search for a sporting dog back in 01, I have seen many varieties of setters. I will say they all exibit the same high drive, hard headedness. Most I would rate as "kennel only" type - do not turn loose in a house.
As a side note, my Small Munsterlander has been to many NAVHDA and HRC events, and he has been attacted twice, once by an english setter and once by a gorden setter.
