Gordon Setter Puppies for Sale - Dog Breed Information

Size : Large

Origin : Great Britain

INTRODUCTION
The Gordon Setter breed of dogs were initially bred as bird dogs, for hunting birds like pheasant and quail. Although the hunting instinct remains strong in the breed, Gordons are equally at home as companion dogs, obedience and agility competitors, and show dogs.

APPEARANCE
Gordon setters are coal-black with tan features. They have tan on their feet and lower legs, vents, and muzzles, and two distinctive tan spots on their chests. Their coat is long and silky on chest, ears, stomach, and leg feathering, and slightly wavy. They are the heaviest of the setter breeds, and therefore the slowest.

CHARACTERISTICS
Gordon Setters are alert and lively, pleasant and exceedingly loyal. They tend to be devoted to members of their household, but are not overly friendly to strangers. As a general rule, Gordons tend to tolerate attention from people they do not know rather than seeking such attention.
