  • El estándar describe la raza así: «Very active with a keen game sense. Intensely friendly and good natured»

Extraído de fuentes y no escrito como opinión — investigación de salud citada, el estándar del propio registro, y estudios de longevidad revisados por pares. Estándar de la raza, FCI. Los animales de un criador pueden diferir de todo esto, y una columna vacía significa que no tenemos nada de ese lado, no que no haya nada que decir.

Estándar de la FCI · English Setter

Pelo y color

Tal como lo establece el estándar de la FCI. Cada línea de abajo está en las palabras del propio estándar, etiquetada con preferred.

From back of head in line with ears slightly wavy, not curly, long and silky, as is coat generally, breeches and forelegs nearly down to feet well feathered

Color

  • Preferred
  • Permissible
  • Undesirable
  • Disqualifying

«Preferred», «permissible», «undesirable» y «disqualifying» — preferido, admisible, indeseable y descalificante — son las palabras de la propia FCI sobre la raza, y quedan en inglés porque así constan en el estándar. Describen lo que el estándar pide — no son una valoración de ningún perro concreto, ni nuestra.

  • Preferred: Black and white (blue belton), orange and white (orange belton), lemon and white (lemon belton), liver and white (liver belton) or tricolour, that is blue belton and tan or liver belton and tan, those without heavy patches of colour on body but flecked (belton) all over
  • NOTE OF THE STANDARD COMMITTEE: « Belton » is the customary term used for the description of the distinctive coat- ticking of the English Setter.
  • Belton is a village in Northumberland.
  • This expression has been created and spread out by the book about the English Setter written by Mr.
  • Edward Lavarack, breeder who has had a preponderant influence upon the actual appearance of the breed

Health guide

What to ask for in a English Setter

No breed-specific health panel has been written up for the English Setter on this platform yet. That is a gap in our records, not a clean bill of health — ask the breeder which hereditary conditions their lines are tested for, and ask to see the results for both parents, dated and from a named laboratory.

Puppies

No puppies listed right now

No English Setter breeder has a record on this platform yet, so there is nothing to list. That is a gap in our coverage, not a fact about the breed.
