Irish setter

Irish setters have a deep mahogany color, rollicking personalities, and require a good amount of exercise to satisfy their breed instincts. They are tough and tireless field retrievers. They are also loving companion dogs who enjoy the company of children. It takes about three years for this breed to fully mature into adulthood, so if you’re considering bringing an Irish setter into your home, you should be prepared for an active, fun-loving dog.
