The Irish Setter, whose earliest ancestors were found on the island of Emmelden, where it originated.

Irish Setter is a general term for Irish Red Setter and Irish Red and White Setter. Among them, it is generally believed that Irish Setter refers to Irish Red Setter. In the United States, long-distance bus routes are marked by greyhounds, while Ireland once used Irish Setter as a mascot and logo, which was officially interpreted as conveying "friendly, reliable and fast travel services."

The earliest ancestors of the Irish Setter in its place of origin, Emmelden Island, rarely had a single coat color. Most of them were red and white, and white was often more than red. Even now, many individuals hybridized with the Irish Water Spaniel are colored. However, in the United States, dogs with all-red coats or red with a small amount of imperceptible white traces are considered the only typical breed of Irish Setter.

The first Irish Setters introduced to the United States were used for hunting. Although the local skittish grouse, quail and prairie pheasants were unfamiliar to them, they were able to adapt quickly to their prey. In 1875, "Irke" was introduced as the first Irish Setter to win honors for himself and his descendants in the United States. He not only achieved amazing success in the exhibition booth, but also became a shooting hound after being fully trained.

The Irish Setter originated from Ireland. Working dogs, they can cooperate with hunters in difficult conditions. As an excellent bird hunting dog, it can search for birds. When it smells the traces of prey and finds prey, it will take a motionless posture like a pointer hound, squatting on the ground or showing the position with its nose, so it is also called the hunter's "other gun".

The Irish Setter is a fast hunter in the wild. In the family, he is a sweet-tempered and easy-to-train companion suitable for children, but he matures slowly. He is playful and naughty, suitable for people with a heart to raise.
