Golden Retrievers were bred from a number of dogs including Irish Setters, Tweed Water Spaniels (extinct), Bloodhounds, Springer Spaniels, Newfoundlands, St. John's Water Dogs, Labrador Retrievers, and other various retrievers and spaniels in Britain in the 19th century.
Yes, the English Setter is closely related to the Irish Setter.
The Golden Retriever breed was started in 1868 when a man named Lord Tweedmouth crossbred a yellow retriever with a Tweed Water Spaniel. Flat-coated retrievers, Irish setters and Bloodhounds also played a part in the Golden's lineage http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1662019/the_golden_retriever_americas_favorite.html?cat=38
Yes.
I think they used Irish setters and yellow labradors...maybe something else as well.

Irish Setters are always solid red. There is another breed derived from it called the Irish Red and White Setter, which is red and white.
Sporting dogs were often bred to bring back game. This resulted in several well known breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers and Irish Water Spaniels.

no they are not as they are lazy
They are different breeds of dogs. Irish Setters are always a mahogany red. Golden Retrievers are traditionally a golden color, but can also vary to a dark red. Retrievers were built for water. They have webbed feet and a waterproof undercoat. Setters tend to have straighter hair. Goldens often have wavy hair.
Irish setters have a life expectancy of12-14 years. Their health concerns are hip dysplasia, gastric torsion, and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
