Irish Setters - Appearance

Irish Setters are well-balanced dogs. The dog has a straight, glossy coat, which is longer on ears, chest, back of legs and tail. The coat colors are mahogany or rich chestnut red with no black. A small amount of white color on the chest, throat or toes is permissible. A standard Irish Setter should be an example of balance, whether standing or in motion.
