Gordon Setter

Originally bred to hunt pheasant and quail, Gordon Setters are still fine hunting companions and field trial competitors. Canines of this breed also compete in obedience, conformation, and agility, and they’re terrific family companion dogs.

Gordon Setters have lots of love to give to their humans, but apartment dwellers should beware. These dogs need plenty of exercise to burn off their high energy. If you can provide space to play and keep up with daily walks, then this may be the breed for you.
