Dog Breeds :: Gordon Setter

General Appearance
The Gordon Setter is a good-sized, sturdily built, black and tan dog, well muscled, with plenty of bone and substance, but active, upstanding and stylish, appearing capable of doing a full day's work in the field. He has a strong, rather short back, with well sprung ribs and a short tail. The head is fairly heavy and finely chiseled. His bearing is intelligent, noble, and dignified, showing no signs of shyness or viciousness. Clear colors and straight or slightly waved coat are correct. He suggests strength and stamina rather than extreme speed. A smooth, free movement, with high head carriage, is typical.

Owning
The dark coat of the Gordon Setter aborbs heat very quickly so owners should watch for signs of overheating. Gordon Setters are protective of their family and children but are not aggressive unless they, or someone they love is being threatened. Gordon Setters love a good long run, however, daily walks will suffice.

Temperament
The Gordon Setter is alert, gay, interested, and aggressive. He is fearless and willing, intelligent and capable. He is loyal and affectionate, and strong-minded enough to stand the rigors of training.
