  • 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.

This led to the well-known concept of a blood-brain barrier. There are additional drugs that may also cause Research in the early 1960s showed that the basis of the problems including morphine, cyclosporin, digoxin, blood-brain barrier is the specialised endothelial cells of rifampin, ondansetron, domperidone, paclitaxel, brain capillaries.

  • 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.
