Let's talk English Setters
Every day is a Good Hair Day for the English Setter: These gorgeous glossy and dappled dogs have plenty of energy and a sweet, mellow nature. Descended from pointers and spaniels, like their other setter cousins, they were originally bred as hunting dogs. But times have changed and English Setters certainly don’t need a country lifestyle—as long as they get plenty of exercise, they make content and affectionate family dogs.
