Irish Setters are the extroverts who never got the memo that they’re supposed to calm down after puppyhood. They need real exercise and real engagement, or that beautiful red coat will be the least of your problems when they’ve decided the couch is a chew toy. Sweet-natured and enthusiastic to the point of obliviousness, they’ll knock over your coffee with their tail while trying to sit in your lap.
