Gordon Setter Did You Know?


  • The Gordon Setter's ancient lineage dates back to 1620.


  • The Gordon Setter Club of America was formed in 1891.


  • Gordon Setters first started to hunt game birds almost 200 years ago.


  • The Gordon is known for his devotion and loyalty.


  • Gordons are the heaviest of the setters, although the standard permits a considerable size range due to differing preferences between field and bench enthusiasts.


  • Contrary to popular belief, the three setters - English, Gordon, and Irish - are not merely representatives of different colors or varieties within one "setter" heading but are in fact three separate breeds.
