English Setter Dog
For Love of a Dog Jewelry the English Setter Dog
Although similar in function to the Irish and Gordon Setters, the English is a distinct breed, differing personality and appearance. One of the oldest gundog breeds, the English Setter was developed in England more than 400 years ago. Believed to have developed from Spaniel stock, the breed was originally called a Setting Spaniel. Before the use of firearms, this "Setting Spaniel" would find the birds and then crouch down on its front legs or "set" to allow the hunter to throw a net over the game. When guns became widely used, a more upright pointing stance was bred into the Setter so he could be more easily seen.
