These dogs have a beautiful, shiny and silky coat and are the largest breed in the Setter category. They originated in Scotland where they could be found in the kennels of Alexander IV, the fourth Duke of Gordon. Their place of origin also plays a role in how the breed obtained the name of the Gordon Setter. They were originally bred as a hunting dog as they have high endurance levels, but are not extremely fast. They are generally faithful pets, but can become stubborn if not shown proper authority by the owner. They do have a moderate drooling level and shed quite a bit, but with the proper maintenance, they can be beautiful companions. They have high energy levels and will need access to a large space to run around in, as well as regular daily exercise.
