IRISH SETTER 



In the leading essentials, this dog is similar to its English brother, the main differ- 

 ence between the two is that the head of the Irish dog is not quite so long in propor- 

 tion and the occipital bone not so well developed. His eyes, too, are lighter, and show 

 less haw, and his expression, like that of the Irish Water Spaniel and the Irish Terrier, 

 is different to any English variety. In fact it is a characteristic purely Irish expression.
