| Gordon Setter
 The
Gordon has often been referred to as the foot hunter's setter. A
solidly built, well muscled, black and tan dog, the Gordon is a very
elegant looking specimen. Not as outgoing as other representatives
of the setters, the Gordon becomes attached to its family and
hunting partner, and although not aggressive, will tolerate
outsiders rather than welcome them warmly.
In the field the Gordon typically is not
as rangy as the other setters and pointers, hence the tag of being a
foot hunter's dog. They will thoroughly work cover at a methodical
pace. The dark color of the Gordon may hamper it in warmer climates
and an owner will have to be very observant while working them in
the early hunting season. The Gordon Club Web site sums up this dog
best: beauty, brains and birdsense.
