English Setter Dog Breed (History, Health, Characteristics)English Setter Dog Breed (History, Health, Characteristics)

  It is believed that setters evolved from various crosses of spaniels and for several centuries they were known as “setting spaniels”. The English setter as we know it today was largely developed during the 19th century by Mr. Laverack and Mr. Llewellin. History of English Setter:       Over the last 100 years the strains that these 2 gentlemen favored have diverged, generally speaking, the “Laverack setters” are the type we see in the show ring today and the “Llewelyn setters ” are of a lighter build and have been selected not for their looks but their working ability.   English setters are “bird dogs” – their instinct is, by using scent, to hunt and find game birds. When the dog scents a bird he will point or “sett” it – a well-trained dog will only flush out the birds on the command of his handler. Setters are not expected to retrieve. Characteristics:

Causes and Corrective Actions for Dog Licking Greeting Dog Licking at their mother’s face in greeting and to instinctively stimulate her to “regurgitate” food for them as she would do in the wild, a behaviour that becomes a part of the adult canine greeting ritual with other dogs and humans.   GREETING Corrective Actions for Dog Licking: As long as your dog doesn’t obsessively bother another dog with in-the-face licking, no action needs are taken to stop this natural behaviour. Keeping in mind dogs do eat nasty things like animal excrement if you don’t object to an occasional friendly lick in the face as a greeting, train your dog to do this on command with a “Give me a kiss” cue. Unlike puppy kisses, repeated excessive face-licking performed with a very direct attitude may indicate a demanding gesture that should be met with a firm “no” followed by a proper behaviour command such as Sit.
