The English Setter those whose existence to win English shoemaker, Edward Laverack, who thanks to a sizable inheritance, was able to devote his life to Israel passions: hunting and dogs. It is true that the first Setter (or a dog of very similar) had already been developed in the 16th century in France with the blood of Spanish and French pointers. But it was Laverack who in 1825, gave definitive shape to this very beautiful and astute animal, who is today among the best known and most appreciated of hunting dogs.

The work of Laverack was carried on and perfected by his friend Purcell Llewellin, and later, the Americans added a final touch. There is today a type of setter called the Llewellin Setter, which is very popular among skilled hunters.

This Setter got his name from the half-sitting position he assumes one pointing.
One of the most beautiful among beautiful dogs, the English setter has a finely chiseled head, and from that to his fringed tail, every line shows grace and strength. His sense of smell is exceptional, his play of movement is easy, and he has great endurance. The Setter can be used over many different terrains. The breeds hows the same enthusiasm whether hunting in the open, the woods, or the water, and in inclement weather as well as hot sun.

The dog does not forget a lesson once learned, nor does he make the same mistake twice. Generally speaking, he is a dog for one person only, and one can see in his eyes the admiration for his master. He is very sensitive and his master must show him understanding and affection. He is also a good pet; always friendly and lively with fast reflexes.

They're our three varieties of English setters, differing only in the color of their coats;the Lemon Belton, which is white with are in spots, the Blue Belton, which is white with bluish spots; and the Liver Belton, which is white with chestnut-colored spots.
