Introduction

Regal and affectionate, the Gordon Setter is distinguished by its lustrous black and tan coat. Originating from Scotland, this sizable breed blends nobility with a lively spirit typical of sporting dogs. Perfect for active families, Gordons are enthusiastic in play yet poised indoors. Their intelligence and loyalty make them superb companions. They require regular exercise to match their high energy levels and benefit from training that channels their natural bird hunting instincts.
