Facts about Gordon Setter
The Gordon Setters appeared as a result of crossing Pointers, Spaniels, Irish Setters and Bloodhounds.
Description
The Gordon Setter is a black and tan beauty with the ears of a Spaniel and the trim silhouette of a Beagle. These dogs are passionate about hunting. With their almost painful attachment to their owners, they are all too vulnerable to being left alone, so they exist most happily side by side with their humans. These dogs are fully matured only by the age of two or three years, and until that time they remain puppies.
The Gordon setter holds the official title of "Man's Best Friend.”
