@Retrieverman1 What do you mean the breeds are confused. In America most people hunt with field red setters now. They are two different dogs. I have a field red setter. Shes small but she is a deep red and doesn't look like a golden at all.

ya them show people ruined the breed I have a 4.5 month Pup and he is showing some good potential but mine comes from a field line not as pretty or as red got white patch on chest, streak on head and paws. but I tell you what he gives them pointers and english setters a run for their money

Ive a setter dog from a working line and hes bigger, hairier and heavier than the show type setters. It's great to see a setter doing what it is actually bred for as they are being bred more and more for "looking pretty" type dogs - fantastic to see one in action here!

Congratulations, for your awesome dog! In my oppinion, it´s the best breed for hunting, they´re restless and gallope like no one else...

gorgeous dog! Show breeders in north america have ruined the Irish Setter and Gordon Setter lines. This dog is very similar to my Field line Gordon, similar gait and looks ( ecept colour.

I've just done a post on working line Irish setters. The ones we have in the US are very similar to the ones that were bred into the golden retriever in nineteenth century. We also have the goldens that still have setter features here, too, and the breeds are confused with each other.

Really? Well, it is known that the Russians have lines of hunting Irish Setter that are very different for the Field-type lines we have in North America. In fact, they call the American field type Irish setter the "Red Setter." And it is somewhat different. It is much lighter in red.

Actually this particular dog brings UK/Ireland blood and no one drop of Russian one.

Several days ago this dog got a CACT (Candidate to Russian FTCh by FCI rules)

I've heard of the Russian Irish setters. You have preserved the old breed!
