Irish Setter Puppies for Sale

Irish Setter Puppies Temperament

If you want to buy an Irish Setter puppy, it’s smart to do a little research first. The Irish Setter is a friendly, loyal breed that makes an excellent companion for active families. They are known for their affectionate nature and their love of play. Although they can be boisterous at times, they are generally gentle and good-natured. Irish Setters are also intelligent and relatively quick learners. They excel at obedience and agility trials, and they make excellent hunting dogs. With their cheerful dispositions and endearing personalities, it’s no wonder that the Irish Setter is such a popular breed.

This good-natured, social breed doesn’t like solitary time and needs companionship. They are very good with children, but their rambunctious nature may be a problem for families with very small children.

Though generally very healthy and long-lived — with an average lifespan of around 12 – 14 years — our Irish Setters for sale are not without their unique health concerns.
