About Irish Red and White Setter Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Irish Red and White Setter, an Irish gundog in the Sporting Group, was developed to locate and point upland game birds and is known for its friendly, eager to please temperament and high energy, making it a warm companion for active families. A medium to large, athletic dog with a white coat marked by rich red patches and soft feathering, it thrives on ample daily exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent positive training. Grooming is moderate, regular brushing to manage moderate shedding, routine ear checks and nail trims, and occasional baths, while drooling is typically low to moderate. Not hypoallergenic, the breed may be prone to hip dysplasia, some eye issues, and ear infections, so maintaining a healthy weight and keeping up with routine veterinary care is important.
