By Michael Stonewood

The Irish Red and White Setter is a breed of dog that is a member of the Setter typing. As with all Setters, the Irish Red and White Setter is classified as a gundog and is included in the sporting group in Canada and America. The breed is virtually identical in temperament and use to its related breeds: the Irish Setter, the English Setter and the Gordon Setter. The Irish Red and White Setter was developed to be able to locate the whereabouts of game birds and then indicate where the birds are to the hunters. The Irish Red and White Setter mainly uses its incredible sense of smell to track game birds throughout varied terrain. Within the United Kingdom, the Irish Red and White Setter is mainly used to hunt grouse, partridge, pheasant and woodcock. The breed was incredibly popular but has become virtually extinct in recent years. There are multiple dedicated organizations that are working to maintain the Irish Red and White Setter breed and it has now been recognized by all major kennel clubs. The Irish Red and White Setter is less athletically built than most other setters: it has a heavy body and a broad head. However despite this, the Irish Red and White Setter is still a relatively athletic breed and has high levels of endurance. As the name suggests: the Irish Red and White Setter must have a red and white coat - it is actually a white dog with red patches The temperament of dogs is normally affected by the following factors: individual personality, heredity, training and socialization. It is therefore important to make sure that you meet the puppy's mother before purchasing a Irish Red and White Setter. It is also important to make sure to thoroughly socialize your Irish Red and White Setter with strangers, children and other animals during its puppyhood. Generally speaking, the Irish Red and White Setter is a devoted, affectionate and loyal breed which makes them a perfect household pet. It is important to note that as a working breed, the Irish Red and White Setter has a high amount of energy which needs to be expended. If the Irish Red and White Setter has a buildup of energy it is likely to develop destructive behaviors due to boredom or hyperactivity.

Absolute rubbish

I've read middle school essays with better grammar and more accurate information. This series of books is overwhelmed with grammatical errors, typos, and wording that verges on the laughable. The information within has the breed name pasted in, but contains only one line of information about the IRWS beyond the introductory paragraph. Furthermore, some of the information is flat out wrong and would mislead an uninformed person into serious error in the selection, care, and training of an IRWS. There were no reviews of this book when I purchased it, and it's rare to find a book about the IRWS so I threw a few dollars at it. I wasted my money. Some poor tree died for THIS? What a sham.
