Appearance
The Gordon Setter is a gundog, and a member of the setter family. Gordon Setters are intensely loyal to their owners, but can take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. They are good family dogs, laid-back and loving, though not recommended with small children as they can be boisterous. It is the heaviest of the setters, and is more substantial in build than its popular relative, the svelte Irish Setter. Rather than being built for speed, they move with determination and stamina.
