Want to see some Gordon Setter photos? We have you covered.
The Gordon Setter is a breed of dog from the Highlands often known as the black avenger. With their black and brown shining coats, standing at up to 80lb, they’re a striking and distinctive dog. There’s also a possibility of red Gordon Setters, though people consider these to be rare.
They’re fearless dogs, so working on training early is imperative. Teaching things like a good recall cue and “leave it” can be very helpful when preventing them from running headfirst into situations they shouldn’t. Gordon Setters are also intensely loyal to their owners, and often imprint on one person. This is a good thing, but you should balance it with plenty of socialization so that they realize strangers are good too!
Due to their history as a gundog, they do have a chance of showing a prey drive. Take care when introducing them to cats, and even more so with smaller animals. Even if your dog seems trustworthy, never leave them alone unsupervised with those animals — it could end in disaster.
