Previous Breed: Irish Bull Terrier
The Irish Red and White Setter is a breed of dog, more specifically a setter. It is virtually identical in use and temperament to its cousin, the Irish Setter, but is more often found as a working gundog.
History
Originally all Irish Setters were mostly red, or red and white, but from around 1880 breeders began to prefer the solid red variety. Consequently, the breed came close to extinction. Thanks to the efforts of an early 20th-century Irish clergyman, Noble Huston, the breed survived but only in small numbers in Ireland. From around 1970 there was a planned revival of the breed, and the numbers began to increase slowly. In 1980 the first IRWS were imported into the UK, where the breed was developed more as a show dog. In Ireland the breed has continued to be primarily a working and field trial dog
Appearance and Size
The coat is long and silky, mostly white, with deep red patches. The dogs range in height from 22 1/2 to 24 for females and 24 to 26 inches for males, and weigh 50 to 70 pounds (27-32 kg).
Personality
The Irish Red and White Setter is a pointing bird dog which originated in the eighteenth century in Ireland where they were particularly associated with the Rossmore family. They can take longer to train than other gundogs, but once trained they are a loyal and reliable companion. They need firm, decisive but not harsh training. They can be the most devoted and affectionate of dogs, and are extremely intelligent. Irish Red and White Setters thrive best in active families, where they have outlets for their high energy, and require space to run freely.
