Gordon Setter

The Gordon Setter is a striking dog that originated in 17th century Scotland. They were bred for their intelligence that allowed them to excel in bird hunting. The breed then became a sign of status for England’s wealthy. These dogs are eager to learn and have great memories. Gordon Setters can be a tad stubborn, so patient and persistent training is a must. Make sure these guys are exercised daily to prevent boredom/mischief. Gordon Setters must be brushed multiple times a week to prevent matting in their beautiful coat. These dogs make wonderful family pets as well as great guard dogs.
