Thanks. I bought an Irish Setter in August. My first setter. I don't know if he is typical of the breed, but he is a full energy, never stops moving dog. Stubborn too and a food hog. His nose is always to the ground sniffing or up in the air running to another spot to check. I fear I don't have enough knowledge to bring out his full potential. But, I think he will be a good bird dog if I can bring it out in him. Or hire someone who knows what they are doing.
