THE IRISH RED AND WHITE SETTER

The color is the breed hallmark, but the breed must always be judged chiefly from the working standpoint. HEAD The Irish Red and White Setter skull is broad, but is in proportion to the body, and rounded without showing an occipital protu- berance. The stop is distinct, but not exagger- ated, and is not to appear to have an upturned or roman nose. The muzzle of an Irish Red and White Set- ter is clean and square, of equal length to the skull, with parallel planes. Nose color of the Irish Red and White Setter can range from black (ideal) to dark brown. The occasional pink streaks or spots can be found and are part of the breed. You may also find winter noses.
