Red Irish Setter for Free Spirit Group

Red Irish Setter for Free Spirit Group 2-29-12 The modern Red Setter is smaller than his bench-bred cousin. While show dogs often reach 70 lb (32 kg), the working Red Setter is generally around 45 lb (20 kg). The coat is less silky and the feathering is generally shorter. The colour is lighter, with the working dog found in russet and fawn colours. The Red Setter often has patches of white on his face and chest as the Irish Setter of old did. There have been efforts to rekindle the field abilities of the true type Irish by a handful of dedicated breeders in California and elsewhere with some success. More than a dozen AKC Dual Champion Irish Setters have been made, evidence of the big red's native ability when proper traits are selectively sought in breeding.
