I’m not talking about the many books about the Irish setter breed, but rather I’m contemplating the role of the Irish setter in stories read by both children and adults. In essence, these stories introduced the Irish setter to the world. A voracious reader, I first fell in love with the breed as a small child when my dad and I read Nita, The Story of an Irish setter. A children’s book, similar in plot to Black Beauty, I cried as I followed this wonderful pup’s life of hardship to her even- tual reunion with Mary, her first loving mistress. Big Red and Kjelgaard’s other Red novels soon followed. The varied adventures made me aware of the other skills these beautiful red dogs had. From a child’s point 6 of view these big red dogs could do anything! But it was Jack London’s novella, The Call of the Wild, that truly opened my heart to the empathy of the Irish setter. “Skeet was a little Irish setter who early made friends with Buck, who, in a dying condition, was unable to resent her first advances. She had the doctor trait which some dogs possess; and as a mother cat washes her kittens, so she washed and cleansed Buck's wounds. Regularly, each morning after he had finished his breakfast, she performed her self-appointed task, till he came to look for her ministrations as much as he did for Thornton's.” What a girl!!! Soon after, our family rescued an Irish girly and I begged to name her Skeet. Her sweet temperament and gentle playfulness epitomized our new family member. My father, first generation Irish who spoke fluent Gaelic, countered with the name Garryowen. We spent many hours reading James Joyce’s Ulysses together. The Cyclops episode introduced me to the “Ill tempered” Irish setter, Garryowen, “ a bloody mangy mongrel.” “In Kiernan’s pub we meet a radical Irish Nationalist called The Citizen, who is a virulent racist, and who is accompanied by his equally malevolent dog, Garryowen.” “The bloody mongrel let a grouse out of him would give you the creeps. Be a corporal work of mercy if someone would take the life of that bloody dog. I’m told for a fact he ate a good part of the breeches off a constabulary man in Santry that came round one time with a blue paper about a license.” 7 My dad suggested the name Garryowen to tease me, but my heart went out to the poor abused, but loyal dog, owned by the vicious Citizen. My mother named our Irish Heather. Stephen King’s The Stand, a post-apocalyptic horror/fantasy novel, introduced me to a brave and loyal Irish setter named Kojak. While journeying to Las Vegas after being attacked by wolves one of the people Kojak is traveling with, Red- man, is injured and cannot continue his journey. Kojak chooses to stay behind with Redman. He fetches sticks for fire and kills small animals for food to sustain life. These stories are advertising at it’s finest! Through intriguing text and anthro- morphism the character of the Irish setter is repeatedly revealed. The loyalty, intelli- gence, stamina, fortitude, and kindness not to mention the beauty and grace of our breed become obvious. Purebred dogs are under fire. Surely literature has shown why our Irish setters should be cherished and honored. One of the best methods of teaching students is through the use of stories.

  • The English Setter Association of America
    The English Setter Association of America Judges’ Education Presentation The first dog registered with the AKC was an English Setter named ADONNIS Champion Rock Falls Colonel Retired from the show ring in 1955 and was the first dog in the history of the AKC to have won 100 Best in Shows. Did You Know? The first AKC-licensed pointing-breeds field trial was conducted by the English Setter Club of America in 1924 in Medford, NJ. Original Purpose & History of the English Setter The English Setter is one of the oldest breeds of gun dog with a history dating back to the 14th century. It was thought to be developed between crosses of Spanish Pointer, Water Spaniel and the Springer Spaniel. Its purpose was to point, flush and retrieve upland game birds. The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Mr. EDWARD LAVERACK, who developed his own strain of the breed by careful inbreeding during the 19th century. Another Englishman, Mr. R. PURCELL LLEWELLIN began a second strain based upon Laverack’s line that developed into the working setter. Today you will hear the term Llewellin Setter. This is not a separate breed, just a different type, more often referred to as the Field Setter. This strain is more often used in field trials. ▪Although the Llewellin English Setter is still the predominate type seen in the field today, Laverack English Setters are making their mark. ▪The first Dual Champion finished in 1985. ▪There are 13 Dual Champions to date. ▪Numerous show English Setters have earned hunting titles. ▪You will see whiskers left on.

  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

  • Hunting Dogs There Are Great Gun Dogs, Then There Are Those Whose Names Will Forever Be Remembered for Their Historically Significant Achievements
    2/22/19, 1010 PM Page 1 of 1 ___ " SUBSCRIBE HUNTING 11 Legendary Hunting Dogs There are great gun dogs, then there are those whose names will forever be remembered for their historically significant achievements BY TOM KEER YESTERDAY AT 1:50PM ! ! " # $ ! I love dogs which means I wouldn't walk a pheasant or quail field or sit in a blind without one. Dogs make every hunt. On some days they cast perfectly and handle every bird with ease. On others they plow through thick vegetation and crank out one blind retrieve after another. Those epic hunts make up for the times when they come unhinged and we cuss with the eloquence of a dockworker. But Momma didn't raise no quitter, so we get them back on track. It's all part of the game, and though we love our dogs best, some we've never met have found a place in our hearts—and gun dog history. Shadow Oak Bo is one of only two dogs to win back-to-back field trial National Championships Chris Mathan 1. Shadow Oak Bo Tell an All-Age field trialer that a setter has a shot to win the National Championship and he'll chuckle. Count Gladstone, a setter, won the first National in 1896, and for the next decade-plus, a setter winning the Super Bowl of bird dogs was as common as sunburn. But that was because pointers weren't allowed to compete. Pointers were welcomed in 1909, and since then they've put on a clinic. Their beat down on Professor Longhair was epic; the most recent setter win at Ames Plantation was Johnny Crockett and that was in 1970— when men wore super short cut-off jean shorts and knee-high tube socks while listening to the Partridge Family sing "I Think I Love You." But Shadow Oak Bo came along and he was legit.
