English Setters

Am I the only one in the world who joined this group with the hope of meeting other English Setter owners on an Irish Setter website? There must be more of us crazies out there!!

Coat care

Hi, my english setter Haidy has beautifull but very thick coat. It is makeing me insane sometimes, because its very dificcult to take care of her coat. She has like tripple undercoat and its hard to keep it in healthy way. Her coat need some extra care. Im using brush, then shedding comb and sometimes its necessary to use thinning scissors. I never saw english setter with this thick kind of coat. Have you got som experience with this kind of coat?  :) Thanks for reply.....Lenka

      Hi Lenka,

      I have had this problem with several ES, one a male desexed for medical reasons had a coat growing like a bearded collier. Later my bitch Maddie was the same. It was a nightmare to control. My current boy is desexed and although he is not too bad I regularly clip his body coat.  It might be worth it to invest in clippers and do it yourself, it is not too hard.

      Gayle.
