The Gordon Setter is a tall, athletic breed combining power and elegance. Their distinctive shiny black and tan coat, adorned with luxurious feathering wisps of hair, complements their sturdy frame. Bred for endurance, these dogs are tireless, bold, and confident. Gordon Setters are larger and have more endurance than their smaller Setter counterparts.
