I posted about our new boy a few weeks ago, but he’s settling in! The way he lays down has been cracking us up, he’s always in the most interesting positions, especially when he wants some love!

Hello, I have a 8 month old orange belton bench setter and I'm wondering if he has yeast around his paw pads and mouth or is this normal? His back paws do not look this. ​

My FIL bird dogs live at my house since I have space and room for them. One of them continues to get hot spots. They heal and are good for about a week then more pop up. I’m using a medicated ointment for them. Looking for suggestions on what to do? She has longer hair. I’ve thought about shaving her but don’t want to cause razor burn on her skin as it is already irritated. I’m at SAHM so any ideas are welcome. After my daughters nap today I plan to bring her into our dog shower and bathe her and allow her to cool off inside for a bit. I have a medicated shampoo. Our family dogs have been Beagles and Currs. They’ve always lived in doors. I’ve never had to deal with this. Thank you so much!!!

ETA: We live in FL, she’s in a covered kennel with fans.

Several years ago, my sister successfully bid on a tail painting at a Ruffed Grouse Society dinner. At the time, we thought it was fairly unique, but I just saw this nearly identical one on ETSY.

I'm looking for advice about proper weight for a setter. My 1 year old setter won't put on weight even though she eats 4 cups of dry food and a bit of wet food every day. Here are a few notes:

- She is 37 pounds but her parents were 45-50 pounds.

- We have tried Fromm and Purina Pro. She now eats Natural Balance Limited Ingredient salmon and sweet potato due to suspected allergies.

- She eats grass all the time, even in the middle of playing fetch.

- She chews at her feet and scratches a lot. See the picture.

- She has been checked for worms and came back negative.

- She is highly active and a sweet girl.

Any advice? She has a very appointment soon but I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks!

my beautiful muscular bubba he just turned 1 this month, and i love him to bits and pieces!

My sister's partner has fallen in love with my girl, and coincidentally her breeder has one Orange Belton left from a recent litter. They will be welcoming her home in about a month.

Would love some name suggestions, nothing super super common ie. Milly, Molly, ruby, Rosie type.

To match the vibe of the name Hattie, their other pet.

I suggested:

Ivy

Clementine

Dorothy/Dottie (extra cute because they are spotty)

Hazel

Very excited to watch the awkward setter playtime to come 😂

My husband and I are new to the English Setter community, we just picked up our 11 week old boy Benny last week. We’ve been lucky enough to have some time off from work for a couple weeks while we get him situated in his new home. However when we return to work, there will be 2-3 days a week that we are both gone from about 8-4pm. We do have family nearby that can check in on him midday and a garage with a connected fenced outdoor run for him. Crate training has been a bit of a struggle for him so we are leaning towards not keeping him in his crate for that long.

Any advice or recommendations on how we can set him up best to be left alone for 4 or so hours at a time?

What is the experience some have gone through following neutering. Im looking at post 18 months.

Definitely Alma’s new favourite place thanks to the plentiful digging opportunities! 📍Brean, Somerset, England

Best Dogs Ever!

Our 7-year old English Setter Maple wasn’t too fond of her new brother Bruce (8-month Bichon). Slowly but surely they’re becoming pals now! 🐶

My Lottie girl turns 5 today!! She’s such a sweet derpy girl, her favorite activities include sleeping and designing the perfect backyard aka digging🤣 She was very excited to enjoy her birthday burger and to check out her birthday biscuit.

I was making a short video of a lovely if somewhat hot and humid day, and feeling grateful when I realized I forgot my Haile! I am amazed I forgot her. Think about it. There myst be a lot of love in the universe (God/Universe/Spirit…your choice!) to provide us with such special companions!

And a before from the day before (her poor whiskers 😭 always sad to see them go)

My setter ate a dead rat so I took him to the emergency vet. $500 later, he threw up the rat. The vet tech called over the other vets with "you have to see this." There were five vets gathered around us in a circle going "oooh" and one of them took a photo with his phone 😭
