Breed History[]
The Irish Setter is a gundog that originated from Ireland. This breed was developed in the 18th century by combining English Setters, spaniels, pointers, and Gordon Setters. The first of the breed were dubbed “red spaniels” or “modder rhu”, which is Gaelic for “red dog”. The first Irish Setter imported to America was named Elcho, and he arrived in 1875. His arrival quickly sparked popularity of the breed, and the Irish Setter became one of the most popular breeds in America as well as conformation champions between 1874 and 1948. They became even more popular after the books and movie “Big Red” were released, which featured an Irish Setter named Big Red. President Nixon also had an Irish Setter named King Timahoe.
