Download or read book The Irish Setter written by Michael Stonewood and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Setter is a breed of dog that is a member of the setter typing. The term 'Irish Setter' is commonly used to describe both the field-bred Red Setter recognized in the 'Field Dog Study Book, ' and the show-bred dog recognized by the American Kennel Club. The Irish Setter was bred for hunting purposes; specifically for the purposes of locating and pointing out upland gamebirds. The breed uses its incredible sense of smell to locate their prey. They are a wide-ranging hunter who is more than capable of hunting in both fields and wet or dry moorland terrain. The Irish Setter has a moderately long, silky double coat that is normally either of a red or chestnut coloration. The breed's undercoat is abundant in winter weather, while the top coat is fine all year around. The Irish Setter's coat feathers around their tail, chest, ears, legs and body. The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Irish Setter. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Irish Setter with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Irish Setter is an incredibly friendly, intelligent, enthusiastic and loyal household pet. They get along well with strangers and small children. However it is important to note that the Irish Setter has a high prey drive, due to their hunting history. It is therefore not recommend to keep an Irish Setter in the same household as a smaller pet (such as a cat) - although it is possible to socialize your Irish Setter with small animals during its puppyhood which could lead to the Irish Setter living peacefully with smaller household pets. The Irish Setter responds well to human interaction and companionship. The breed is therefore relatively easy to train with positive reinforcement. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Irish Setter has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Irish Setter has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a Irish Setter's basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices. This guide will give an in-depth explanation on training your Irish Setter, raising your Irish Setter from a puppy, grooming, health care and everything in between! "The Irish Setter: A Complete and Comprehensive Owners Guide to: Buying, Owning, Health, Grooming, Training, Obedience, Understanding and Caring for Your Irish Setter," by Michael Stonewood is the perfect purchase or gift for a first time Irish Setter owner. This guide includes sections on caring for a puppy, breeding, health care, training, the basic cost of owning an Irish Setter and much more. This book is the second edition - the first edition was published by 'Dog Care Professionals.'
