GORDON SETTER
|
 |
APPEARANCE
The Gordon
Setter is a good-sized, sturdily built, black and tan dog, well muscled,
with plenty of bone and substance, but active, upstanding and stylish,
appearing capable of doing a full day's work in the field. He has a
strong, rather short back, with well sprung ribs and a short tail. The
head is fairly heavy and finely chiseled. His bearing is intelligent,
noble, and dignified, showing no signs of shyness or viciousness. Clear
colors and straight or slightly waved coat are correct. He suggests
strength and stamina rather than extreme speed. Symmetry and quality are
most essential. A dog well balanced in all points is preferable to one
with outstanding good qualities and defects. A smooth, free movement,
with high head carriage, is typical.
TEMPERAMENT
The Gordon Setter is
alert, gay, interested, and aggressive. He is fearless and willing,
intelligent and capable. He is loyal and affectionate, and strong-minded
enough to stand the rigors of training.

Intelligent, able and dignified.
