I love this breed, along with the German Shorthaired Pointer they are probably my favourite, I think they are one of the most charming, charismatic and fun-loving breeds around today. Some people may prefer other dogs with the same personality but Irish Setters just work for me.
Ok, so I have researched them, and might look into one, maybe in 1,2 or 6 years.
So, I know
now, some questions
Ok, so I have researched them, and might look into one, maybe in 1,2 or 6 years.
So, I know
- they are high energy
- they require a lot of grooming
- they just become big puppies not older dogs
now, some questions
- are they hard to train?
- what is some things to look out for that a BYB might say to get you to buy a -for want of a better word- defect dog?
- are they difficult to toilet train
- how attached do they get to their family? and just their family?
- are they protective?
- Anything else I should know about?
