Skills The Irish Setter was bred to hunt pheasants, partridges and ducks. Nature has given him a great sense of smell, he is tireless and methodical at work. He tracks the game with the upper wind, puts it out (so-called stand-up collar) and sends it to the hunter's command. Setters work in dense thickets, in meadows, in water and in swamps. They are also arranged as tropes. Currently, representatives of this breed are mainly companion dogs. You can do agility, canicross or dogtrekking with them. Some work well in dogotherapy. The breed is subject to work tests. To obtain breeding qualifications it is required to pass field tests, checking innate passion and hunting instincts. In order for the setter to be able to appear in the working class at the exhibition or to apply for the title of International Beauty Champion (C.I.B.), he must obtain a diploma from versatile or multilateral pointer competitions.
