How tall are Irish setters?

Asked by Wiki User

My irish setter is about 34 inches at the shoulder, and he is a little bit shorter than some other irish setters. If your irish setter is neutered than it will probably be about the size of mine, but non-neutered ones could be up to 36-37 inches at the shoulder.

Definitely! If you are active, the irish setter is the dog for you because this playful dog loves running and the fresh air, so he/she will keep you in great shape if you give it the amount of walks and playtime that it needs. Also, if you live alone and want a sweet, not vicious, guard dog that will loyally scare off intruders but not want it to be mean to you and your friends and family, then the irish setter is the dog for you. They also seem to know who to trust and who not to, so follow your irish setters instincts. Remember, if you are looking for a smart, active, playful, and loyal dog, get an irish setter!

Does A Irish Setter Shed?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, quite heavily actually. Actually, Irish Setters do NOT shed "heavily". And what they do shed tends to be more of a "dust bunny" type of shedding (clumps of the longer feather hairs). Irish Setters are not a double-coated breed and so do not go through that stereotypical twice-a-year coat blow that the double-coated breeds (ie, labrador retrievers) go through. The recommended regular brushing schedule to maintain their beautiful coats should be adequate to all but eliminate even the dust bunnies!!

How long is an Irish setter in length?

Asked by Wiki User

Mine used to do 20-25 km/h for about 2 km, chasing my car.

While it was young(1 year or so) I think it could do 30km/h easily, probably more.

While chasing wabbits, Setter was about even on flat ground, wabbit had the advantage uphill thou. Setter stamina was also pretty good, althou the wabbit wins overall.
