Books on the breed

[Neil Todd]

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can recommend a good book on IRS from the point of view of a first time owner; either one that can be bought in UK or readily ordered from US.

Thanks

[Neil Todd]

Thanks a million Barbara will have a look for them, the others have seen on amazon etc seem to have very conflicting reviews and have been in a spin of which one to go for.

Eve Gardner's book is by far the best modern book published in the UK.
And Janice Roberts

The only book on the modern working Irish Setter is Ray O'Dwyer - The Irish Red Setter

If you want to read some history:-

Millner - The Irish Setter
Mrs Ingle-Bepler - Setters
Anna Redlich - The Dogs of Ireland
W.Marr - Pointers and Setters
Gilbert Leighton-Boyce - A Survey of Early Setters

Good American books -
Connie Vanacore - The Irish Setter
Thompson - The Irish Setter in Word and Picture

[Neil Todd]

Thank you both, have just ordered the Eve Gardner one and look forward to a good read on the breed
