Getting to Know the Irish Setter on 'Pet Pals TV'

On Pet Pals TV, we're excited to share a fascinating story about our furry friends. In this episode, host Patty Spitler returns from knee replacement surgery and joins three beautiful Irish Setters who are the mascots for St. Patrick's Day.

"Originating from Ireland, the Irish Setter is a hunting dog that excels at finding and retrieving ground nesting birds," says Patty.

One of the standout characteristics of this breed is their boundless energy. As Patty notes, "Irish Setters are energetic dogs. Their love of running can mean they'll need about two hours of exercise a day." If you're considering bringing an Irish Setter into your family, be prepared to provide plenty of physical and mental stimulation.

Another plus for these dogs is their low-maintenance coat. Unlike some breeds that require regular grooming sessions, Irish Setters have a silky coat that needs minimal trimming. However, don't forget to give them lots of exercise and consider training your dog to help them reach their full potential.
