The Irish Setter - Its History & Training (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic)

The rich red Irish Setter is a dashing gundog bred to range wide and find game birds on the bog and in the field. In The Irish Setter, Colonel J.K. Millner sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in 1924, Colonel J. K. Millner's account sets the Irish Setter's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for Irish Setter owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the Irish Setter. • Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard. • Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management. • Restored from the original text and illustrations.
