Gordon Setter History

If in the early 1800s, the Scottish duke, Alexander IV of Gordon, often barred from the farmers of the country some black and red dogs who showed a strange hunting instinct. When female in particular possessed an extraordinary sense of smell and was an infallible pointer. The duke made it her with his setters, and started a new breed, the Gordon Setter.
