Profile Information:

How many Irish Setters do you have?
4 english setters and 1 irish
How long have you owned Irish Setters?
Irish for nearly 2 years and english for about 15 years
About Me:
I live near the East Yorkshire Coast in England. We have 1 irish setter aged 20 months and 4 english setters. We were always told the irish were "mad", but having had english we find the irish are actually quite calm! We find the difference is that that although the english are perhaps more laidback, the irish is much more biddable, wants to be with us all the time and is more obedient. We can even let her off the lead and she comes back to us - a real novelty for us!!!!1

    The beach is up at the top end of Hornsea, by the caravan park, down some stairs and turn right. The walk is near us at Huddersfield though and you're right it is totally deserted most days, which is good for my Great Dane as he doesn't like other dogs. Can be a bit 'Hound of the Baskervilles' though when the clouds come in!! :-) I got my English from a Great Dane breeder near Bridlington, can't remember his name though and I lost her papers in a house move about 9 years ago.
