The Gordon Setter is a playful ,loyal and gentle dog. This breed was originally bred in Scotland where they were used as a bird dog. They have retrieving abilities and they point when finding prey. Today the Gordon Setter is used as a loving family companion. Naturally Gordons are very sociable dogs making it easy for them to get along with everyone. They do very well with children because they are a gentle breed. Gordons are easily trained when started from a young age. Owners need to make it clear to this breed who is boss or they can become stubborn. Gordons are not recommended for apartment living. They are energetic dogs that need at least a daily walk and a fenced in yard to romp in. Brushing weekly is pretty much all that is required for a Gordon's coat in addition to a trim every few months. They are average shedders. The only real con with this breed is that they do like to wander so a fenced in yard is a must. In conclusion , the Gordon Setter is a great family pet for owners who can take the time to train him and give him plenty of exercise.
