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!

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.
With Irish Setters there is a small gap between the weight of female and male setters. Male setters generally weigh 65-75 lbs., and females weigh 55-65 lbs. full grown.
