Notes
During the 1860's, red setters were far rarer than the red/white ones, and the latter has long been viewed as the better hunter, while the red setter has done better in the show ring. A breed club was formed in 1866 and they were divided into two breed during the 1870's. By 1882 the power of the red setter breed club was so strong that they managed to drive through that the red and white setter would no longer be allowed to compete in shows!
The irish red setter is a popular show dog around the world, and in Britain it is not rare with 300-400 dogs entered in the larger shows. Red setters have placed BIS in Crufts several times.
