Unlock the Secrets of These 5 Pointer Dog Breeds That Could Change Your Life and Fitness Routine Forever!
Irish Setter
Another dog named after their original homeland, the Irish setter was bred to hunt birds and set (lie on their stomach) to announce their presence. The red color of the Irish setter makes them easy to spot across fields when used as bird dogs.
These playful pups make great companions as well as hunting partners. They can grow to up to 70 pounds but their deep chest can make them prone to bloat or gastric dilatation-volvulus (stomach twisting). Long distance running is great for Irish setters so they can burn off all of their energy. They also love (and need) to use their brains, so combining exercise and mental stimulation (e.g., agility or tracking) is the perfect combination.
