The English Setter, hunting dog breeded in England, owes his name to his way of setting. De modern English Setter dates from about 1825.  It is recognised by it long narrow head, its deep-brown eyes, its long rectangular snout, its longhaired ears, slightly rounded at the tips, its smooth coat and its straight plumed tail pointy at the end when stretched. His fur - sometimes multi-coloured - can have many colours: white, black and white, black, white and fire, lemon and white. The English Setter is used for bird hunting. Very gentle by nature it is an ideal children's friend.

Magnificently stylish, king of the Field-Trial, it's sovereign on the plain, but also efficient on other terrains. Even if it isn't its speciality, he can learn to retrieve; never should he pursue hairy game. The majority of the English Setters in France are game dogs.
