American Setter
However, working American Setters remained in use in rural areas for the good portion of the 20th century, before getting overlooked and eventually forgotten. There are some specimens still found today, but they're not considered a breed anymore, but rather a working strain of whatever established setter breed they resemble the most. Lively, dedicated and trainable, the American Setter is an excellent hunting dog, capable of pointing, chasing and retrieving a variety of game. It is quite energetic and easily excited, not making the best house dog, due to its size and love of barking. The American Setter needs a fair ammount of excercise and training.
The coat is moderately long and richly feathered, coming in a variety of bicolours and tricolours. Average height is around 24 inches.
