Quote: Gotta love when that happens
Red Setters are the field-bred version of the Irish Setter. Actually registered in FDSB & sometimes in AKC as Irish Setters; breeders started calling them Red Setters so there'd be no confusing them with their show-bred cousins (that and the fact that Irish Setters were crossed with English Setters after all the hunting Irish lines had been exhausted), most of whom wouldn't know a bird if they tripped over it.
