They are very tough and can long to train in parallel to other gundogs, but once trained they are a loyal and reliable companion. The Irish Red and White Setter need firm, decisive but not harsh training. They can be the most devoted and affectionate of dogs, and are extremely intelligent. Irish Red and White Setters thrive best in active families, where they have outlets for their high energy, and require space to run freely.
