The black, which is the common variety, is a curly-coated dog, black as coal. Then there is a variety with a splash of white on chest and toes and tip of tail. The average height at the shoulder is from twenty-five to twenty-seven inches, and the weight from one hundred to one hundred and fifty pounds. The English Setter is a good watch-dog, but his training and in- stinct have been devel- l^.f^l oped to hunt, mainly for birds. His keen scent enables him to locate the game and indicate to his master by pausing — '' point- ing "—and thereby in- dicating just where it is. The coat of the Setter is a soft, silky hair, without curl. In color, they are black, red, yellow, orange, brown, or combinations of these colors with white. See page 34. The Irish Setter is a solid, deep, rich mahogany- red color, sometimes with a white spot on the breast, with some slight variations. It is similar in size and shape to the English Setter, but is perhaps more popu- lar in this country. They are quick as lightning, but their pace never gets beyond their nose. The Gordon Setter is a handsome dog, more heavily built than the others. The color is a rich, glossy plum-black, with rich mahogany-tan markings,.
