Noodle Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Totally dippy! We had red setter and she was rubbish, also used to eat bees that put her in a trance... Very kind nature though. However, on a negative note, she did used to get seizures, I'm not sure if this a problem with all setters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've never known a red setter that has it's brain attached to the rest of it's body, especially it's feet. Completley stupid dogs, but very lovable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennis Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mine was completely batty, thick as mud and a real thief. he was also very friendly, soft and gentle. he was very good off the lead, funnily enough and always came when called. They need a good run and freedom .. not a town / city dog. The English and Gordon setter are much calmer in temperment .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathom Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 I knew a family who had one and it was soft, both in temperament and in the head If he saw or smelled anything he'd be off after it and there was no stopping him. They adopted this boy who had learning difficulties and one day he took the dog out for a walk, but then the dog smelled a rabbit and was off - the poor lad didn't have sense to let go of the lead and let the dog drag him for ages!

Tara Misu Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Could you take an English Setter instead, as I know of one needing a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
