Breed All About It - Irish Setter

Meet Darcy. She's an Irish Setter. Lately around Bloomington I've been running into Irish Setters. EVERYWHERE. Ok, everywhere doggie related. Petsmart in the grooming area, The Dog House at doggie daycare, Petco... Etc... Etc... Etc...

But as much as I see them, I can't help but think that there's many to be rescued. Lo and behold, I found an Irish Setter Rescue group. Irish Setters are absolutely amazing dogs. They're deep chested, which means their lungs can hold lots and lots of oxygen which is great for running - that also means they have lots of energy, which is typicial.

Rusty is half Setter, half Golden Retriever. I love his temperament and his energy. He is incredibly shy, and partially obedient (except when there's other dogs around). He does have a sensitive stomach, so we shall go over food this week. Mostly because allergies can go away with a change in food and fur can become much shinier and healthier with a change too.

So overall, love the setter in Rusty - but on Petfinder, there's not too many setters and I'm a little surprised!

As for the title - if you're in the mood to look for a dog, try watching Breed All About It on the Animal Planet. They give great examples of the breeds as well as health, temperament, etc... All important information for owning a dog!
