To own an Irish Setter is an energetic, loving experience. Without a doubt one of the most beautiful dog breeds, playful and loving to a fault..a bit mischievous and requires much attention. Not a dog to be left on their own...they need to be part of your life. My 4 year old Topanga still retains many of her 'puppylike' qualities. A true friend and companion, she is my joy. Just looking at her makes me smile..a true blessing.
