<p>Well considering I have an Irish Setter who alerts me that I need to increase my medication, AND who has managed to rouse me when I was slipping into an Addisonian crisis, I hardly think that shows Irish Setters to be thick dogs. I think Roger Mugford is way behind the times when it comes to understanding the intelligence of dogs. He also has a railway line which runs across the bottom sections of one of his fields. My dogs were running down there one afternoon,. and I shouted "wait"…</p>

I think Roger Mugford is way behind the times when it comes to understanding the intelligence of dogs. He also has a railway line which runs across the bottom sections of one of his fields. My dogs were running down there one afternoon,. and I shouted "wait" as the train went along. They stopped and then I gave them the command to move on. He asked how on earth I had trained my dogs to do that - when his own Setter couldn't....... "because I have trained mine Roger" !!!!!</p>

Have you ever heard it said about a stunning model..."she can't have a brain she's to beautiful"?<br />
Well..... that's the problem with our beautiful Setters, one who doesn't own them just can't imagine that they can be intelligent and beautiful too. They are the Super Models of the canine world :0))

<p>Border collies aren't intelligent, they're 'yes men'... you wouldn't catch a setter wrapping it's head round your leg and then trying to walk!</p>

<p>Well Neil that certainly made everyone wake up!!</p>
<p>do yo think Roger knew he was making a slightly contentious statement?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think out of all the Setters the I has always had that "tag" but as you would assume when you know each setter well they just like to keep their level of intelligence to themselves <g></p>
