Irish Red and White Setter

The Red and White Setter isn't too well known outside of it's native Ireland. There is two known Irish Setter breeds and it has been documented that the Red and White is the older of the two breeds. There has always been a slight confusion about the Irish Setter's proper color because they were often confused for each other. It was commonly thought that they were; in fact, the same breed, but they later noticed that the Red and White dogs were fading away. The breed was thought to be in extinction but during the late 1920s there was a lot of efforts being made to revive the breed. The hard work led to the breed being separately classified and given a champion status by the Irish Kennel Club.
