Which dog breed is right for you?
The Irish Setter — originally known as the Red Setter — was developed in 18th-century Ireland as a tireless bird dog capable of covering vast tracts of countryside in search of game. Standing 25–27 inches tall and weighing 60–70 pounds, this breathtakingly beautiful breed wears a rich, mahogany-red coat of moderate length with silky feathering on the ears, chest, legs, and tail. Their athletic build, flowing red coat, and joyful expression have made them one of the most glamorous breeds in the show ring and the field alike.
Irish Setters are exuberant, fun-loving dogs with an irrepressible zest for life that makes them perpetual puppies at heart. They adore people — every person they meet is greeted with enthusiastic tail-wagging and sometimes an overzealous full-body lean. Their sweet, gentle nature makes them wonderful family dogs, especially for active households with older children who can match their energy level.

The Treeing Walker Coonhound was developed in the United States from Walker Foxhounds in the mid-20th century, selectively bred for their exceptional ability to trail game and "tree" raccoons by chasing them up a tree and baying until the hunter arrives. These elegant, athletic hounds stand 20 to 27 inches tall and weigh 50 to 70 pounds, with a lean, muscular build and the classic tricolor pattern — white, black, and tan — reminiscent of their foxhound ancestry. Their short, smooth coat is dense and protective, well-suited for long hours working through brush and rough terrain.
Treeing Walker Coonhounds are confident, intelligent, and affable — possessing a friendly, sociable nature that makes them enjoyable companions both in the field and at home. They are gentle with children, typically welcoming to strangers, and usually get along well with other dogs, especially those they've been raised with. Their hunting instincts run deep, however, and they can switch from couch potato to tireless tracker the moment an interesting scent crosses their path.
