The Irish Setter originated in Ireland in the 18th century, bred as a hunting and bird dog known for its speed, keen nose, and ability to work in the field. Early Irish Setters were often red and white, but breeders favored the deep red coat that became the breed’s hallmark. Developed from a mix of spaniels, setters, and pointers, the Irish Setter became highly valued for its agility and stamina. By the 19th century, it gained popularity beyond Ireland, excelling in both hunting and show rings. Today, it remains a beloved companion known for its beauty, intelligence, and affectionate nature.
