English Setter

Bred to cover a lot of area when hunting, the English setter is a lively dog that loves to hunt and run. This is an amiable, easygoing breed that gets along well with children, strangers and other dogs. They are calm and tractable house dogs as long as their considerable daily excersize needs are met.
