Polite, friendly and good natured, the English Setter is known as the “Gentleman’s gentleman.†His elegant carriage, attractive flecked coat and natural talent in the field make this all-around dog truly remarkable in mind and body. Although this sporting dog was originally intended for the specific task of assisting bird hunters in locating game, the handsome English Setter possesses an even temperament and love of his people that have made him a popular choice as a family pet and show dog over the decades. Beginning with the setter’s development in England, this comprehensive guide discusses every aspect of the English Setter breed, including a detailed discussion of the breed’s history in America. Juliette Cunliffe, a well-known author and fancier, has provided an excellent and informative text covering the breed’s characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection and socialization, house-training and obedience training. This colorful Special Limited Edition offers expert advice on feeding, exercise, home safety, grooming and other topics vital to the ownership of an English Setter. A fully up-to-date chapter on preventive healthcare, written by Dr. Lowell Ackerman, gives owners reliable guidance on selecting a veterinarian, infectious diseases, spaying/neutering and parasite prevention and control. For every owner of this elegant gundog breed, this new volume promises to be an outstanding addition to his home library.
