I've always liked Gordon Setters, but I just wondered what are they actually like to live with? What is their hunting drive like? Do they tend to have a show type and a working type, or are they more multipurpose?
Hi I currently live with three and 1 English Setter I don't find them to have a huge hunting drive - the English far more! Some have recall problems but I can honestly say the Gordons have very good recall for a setter. They will run all day but are equally happy with a 30 minute run and will settle down. There are some that do have a stronger working line - in both looks and drive Although those that aren't from such a strong working line still have the get up and go to do the job! I do agility with two of mine ! the pup is too young still. They are fabulous fun and very loyal ... biddable - want to please and fast learners - they need a firm but fair training method - they do have they ability to wrap you round their little finger! I love them and one is never enough
