Promoting the Irish Red and White Setter since 1982

Working with an Irish Red and White Setter

Developing the natural instincts, ability and enthusiasm of the breed

Irish Red and White Setters were bred to work in the field. Whether in the field or on the moors, they thrive when given purpose and encouragement. The Club supports owners and handlers in developing their dogs' natural abilities through training, experience and shared knowledge.

Bred with purpose

Generations of careful breeding have produced a versatile working dog with stamina, intelligence and a strong desire to please.

Built for the field and equally at home in the countryside, the Irish Red and White Setter retains the abilities for which the breed was originally developed.

Discover Natural Ability

Working activities allow the Irish Red and White Setter to use its natural instincts in a positive and enjoyable way. Scenting, quartering, pointing and working steadily with a handler all form part of the breed's heritage.

Gentle guidance and positive experiences help to develop a confident and willing companion.
