The '''Irish Red and White Setter''' is a [[dog breed|breed]] of [[dog]], more specifically a [[setter]]. It is virtually identical in use and temperament to its cousin, the [[Irish Setter]], but is more often found as a working [[gundog]].
{{#if:1|=={{{header-text|[[:Thraxnor]]}}}==}}
==Appearance==
A tag has been placed on [[:Thraxnor]], requesting that it be [[WP:CSD|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.
The coat is long and silky, mostly white, with deep red patches. The [[dog]]s range in height from 22 1/2 to 24 for bitches and 24 to 26 inches for males, and weigh 50 to 70 pounds (27-32 kg).
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
==Temperament==
The Red and White can take longer to train than other gundogs, but once trained it is a loyal and reliable companion. Like the Irish Setter, the breed has an enthusiastic zest for life, loves to play, and is excellent with children. Irish Red and White Setters thrive best in active families and require room to romp.
If the page you created was a test, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] for any other experiments you would like to do.

==History==
Originally all Irish Setters were mostly red, or red and white, but for many years breeders developed only the red varieties. Consequently, the breed came close to extinction. Thanks to the efforts of an early 20th-century Irish [[clergyman]], [[Noble Huston]], the breed was saved. The Irish Red and White Setter has undergone a revival in recent decades and is considered a separate breed by most major [[Kennel Club|kennel clubs]]. The breed is still in development for the [[American Kennel Club|AKC]].
==Miscellaneous==
Currently Irish Red and White Setters that are recorded in the AKC's FSS may earn hunting titles as well as titles in [[obedience training|obedience]], [[dog agility]], [[rally obedience]], and [[tracking trial|tracking]]. They may not compete and earn either field or show championships.
