Description
One of the oldest gundog breeds, the English Setter was developed in England more than 400 years ago.
Its a graceful and elegant gun dog. This breed's standard temperament is best described as a "Gentleman by Nature". English Setters are energetic, people-oriented dogs, that are well suited to families who can give them attention and activity, or to working with a hunter, where they have a job to do. They are active dogs outside that need plenty of exercise in a good sized fenced-in yard. Inside they tend to be lower energy and love to be couch potatoes and lap dogs that love to cuddle. Many are good around children.

Jenny, I saw this the other day and wasn't able to comment but it just jumped out at me. This is absolutely gorgeous!! He is a beautiful setter and I love hunting dogs. Even my dog is bred for hunting so if they retrieve or bird, I love a good hunter. They're loyal, smart and always want to please. Look at his face. FAV/Vote!!

What a beautiful portrait, Jenny. The composition is excellent and you've captured the "spirit" of the dog.
