| English Setter dog - English Setter dog --- We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the wonderful world of English Setters! The English Setter Association of America (ESAA) is a not-for-profit organiza- tion formed in 1931. The first object of the Association is “to encourage & promote quality in the breeding of pure-bred English Setters and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection.” ESAA has many regional clubs that create a network of support to ES owners>>>> History>>>> The English Setter is one of the oldest gundog breeds with a history that traces back to the 14th century. It was developed from spaniel stock and was originally called a Setting Spaniel. Before the use of firearms, game birds were captured by net- ting. The Setting Spaniel would find and point the birds then crouch down on its front legs or “set” to allow casting of the net. As guns became available an upright, pointing stance was bred into the Setter so he could be more easily seen. The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Mr. Edward Laverack (1800-1877) who developed his own strain of the breed by careful inbreeding during the 19th century in England. Another Englishman, Mr. R. Purcell Llewellin (1840-1925), began a second strain based upon Laverack’s that developed into the working Setter. Today, you still hear the term LlewellinSetter, but this is not a separate breed. Instead, it is often used as an alternative name for a field-bred English Setter. .>>>> Care and Housing>>>>Regular veterinary care and proper feeding are important toyour dog’s health. It is important that you DO NOT OVER- FEED your English Setter. This athletic breed should be hard muscled and lean. Given proper care, nutrition, and exercise, English Setters normally live about 12 years. Regular brush- ing will keep the beautiful Setter coat free of mats and reduce shedding. Although English Setters are bred to be hunting dogs, they do not make good kennel dogs. As a breed, they love to be with people and are happiest in the company of their family. They DO need a considerable amount of daily exercise to keep both their body and mind in shape. The natural exu- berance of a young Setter can make him difficult to live with if he is confined without enough exercise. The use of outdoor fencing (either visible or invisible) is VERY strongly encour- aged as most English Setters cannot be trusted to stay in a yard without tangible boundaries.>>>> Training>>> Basic obedience training is an essential part of responsible dog ownership. It establishes a bond between you and your English Setter and makes him a joy in your home and com- munity. Consistency and repetition are the keys to success in training. Crate training is very useful for dogs left in the house while owners are gone during the day and for bedtime |
