A warm and colorful tribute to what many consider the most beautiful dog breed in the world: the setter. English, Irish, Gordon--these elegant animals serve as our gentle friends and sporting companions while posing alternately as either clowns or aloof aristocrats. Proof of their engaging personalities and gorgeous looks is demonstrated by a dramatically increasing nationwide ownership of these unique dogs. The special world of setters is revealed in the words of an award-winning dog writer and more than 150 delightful color photos.

Better title would be: English Setters and Some Other Dogs,
By
This review is from: Just Setters (Hardcover)
Now I understand why the author put so much information and pictures of English Setters; he owns some. The author's love for English Setters is evident page after page after page, even in the sections 'dedicated' to Gordon Setters and Irish Setters. I cannot understand why the author would bother writing a book that included the Irish and Gordon if he seemed to have trouble fiinding good things to write about them. I was shocked to read his harsh and sometimes cruel opinion on the lovely Irish Setter.
All of the pictures are of the highest quality and are, of course, adorable. However even in the pictures, the author's love of English Setters comes through again, with almost double the amount of pictures there are of the Irish Setter. Would I recommend this book? To an English Setter fancier - yes. To a Gordon Setter fancier - sure, if you have some extra money to toss around. To a Irish Setter fancier - Look at the pretty pictures while you browse through a bookstore then immediately put it back in the shelf.
