English Setter
This breed dates back to the 1500’s when it was known to be an effective bird dog. Some historic writings suggest the breed is an offshoot of various Spanish land spaniels. Another theory is that the breed was created by crossings of the old Water Spaniel, the old Spanish Pointer and early Springer types.
