Nice pics. Is a red setter the same as an irish setter?
Quote from: Curly on December 04, 2013, 03:53:00 PMNice pics. Is a red setter the same as an irish setter?They are registered by FDSB as Irish Setters but there is no reciprocity with AKC. In Ireland they use the name Red Setter not Irish Setter. So when the process of bringing them back into the field was started (1950's) they took on the name of Red Setter to differentiate them from the show Varity. The men involved got permission to breed some female Red (Irish) to an Orange and white English. The Irish was used to help develop the English and they tapped back into that gene pool. After breeding back to Irish for 3 generations the pups could be registered as Irish. You'll never see these in the show ring or at an AKC trial but you will at AFTCA, NSTRA and such. Your best source of information is www.nrsftc.com. There are some nice historical articles about the process taken by a group of sportsmen to bring the Irish back into the field.Craig O.

Craig,been okay on the short term disabilty that TOTALLY ruined hunting season for me,broken/dislocated fingers on my dominant hand.Tried hunting and quit that with the first recoil of the triggerguard into the splint.You can play if you'd like.It's good to get the word out on the red situation.I know folks used a famous black and white dog in more recent times.I know a guy who used two reds and full blown red red red dogs and had a litter of 9 black dogs with tan eyebrows and 2 red ones. R.J. is training an ABSOLUTE DANDY female red right now,has several videos of her on his facebook page.Quote from: Red Delicious on December 10, 2013, 10:32:47 AMQuote from: wildweeds on December 10, 2013, 09:59:07 AMQuiz of the thread............
