Dogs and All about Them

The
Black
and
Tan
Setter
is
heavier
than
the
English
or
Irish
varieties,
but
shows
more
of
the
hound
and
less
of
the
Spaniel.
The
head
is
stronger
than
that
of
the
English
Setter,
with
a
deeper
and
broader
muzzle
and
heavier
lips.
The
ears
are
also
somewhat
longer,
and
the
eyes
frequently
show
the
haw.
The
black
should
be
as
jet,
and
entirely
free
from
white.
The
tan
on
the
cheeks
and
over
the
eyes,
on
the
feet
and
pasterns,
should
be
bright
and
clearly
defined,
and
the
feathering
on
the
fore-legs
and
thighs
should
also
be
a
rich,
dark
mahogany
tan.
Amongst
the
oldest
and
most
successful
owners
of
Setters
who
have
consistently
competed
at
field
trials
may
be
mentioned
Colonel
Cotes,
whose
Prince
Frederick
was
probably
the
most
wonderful
backer
ever
known.
Messrs.
Purcell-Llewellyn,
W.
Arkwright,
Elias
and
James
Bishop,
F.
C.
Lowe,
J.
Shorthose,
G.
Potter
and
S.
Smale,
who
may
be
considered
the
oldest
Setter
judges,
and
who
have
owned
dogs
whose
prowess
in
the
field
has
brought
them
high
reputation.
Mr.
B.
J.
Warwick
has
within
recent
years
owned
probably
more
winners
at
field
trials
than
any
other
owner,
one
of
his
being
Compton
Bounce.
Captain
Heywood
Lonsdale
has
on
several
occasions
proved
the
Ightfield
strain
to
be
staunch
and
true,
as
witness
the
doughty
deeds
of
Duke
of
that
ilk,
and
the
splendid
success
he
achieved
at
recent
grouse
trials
in
Scotland
with
his
Ightfield
Rob
Roy,
Mack,
and
Dot,
the
first-named
winning
the
all-aged
stake,
and
the
others
being
first
and
third
in
the
puppy
stake.
Mr.
Herbert
Mitchell
has
been
another
good
patron
of
the
trials,
and
has
won
many
important
stakes.
Mr.
A.
T.
Williams
has
also
owned
a
few
noted
trial
winners,
and
from
Scotland
comes
Mr.
Isaac
Sharpe,
whose
Gordon
Setter,
Stylish
Ranger,
has
effectually
put
a
stop
to
the
silly
argument
that
all
this
breed
are
old
men's
dogs.
