#13 Owners of English Setters note: this is one of the most friendly and affectionate hunting breeds.
Animals are human-oriented - sometimes too much. Instead of long sleep on its favorite bedding, the setter will prefer to spin underfoot, making itself felt by periodic barking and taking an active part in the activities of the owner. It doesn't matter if you plan to go to the store or watch TV, your dog will always be pleasant company.
#14 Hyper-sociability of “Englishmen” is the main reason why animals suffer from loneliness and constantly experience fear of separation.
To maintain a healthy and balanced psyche of a pet, it is not recommended to leave it unattended for the whole day. Setters love to spend time in the company of the owner and treat guests in the house with equal happiness. The animal can easily jump on the chest and "kiss", which not everyone will be happy about.
#15 It follows from this that the breed is not suitable for guarding the house.
In every stranger, the dog sees a potential friend and does not seek to defend the entrusted territory. However, with the right upbringing, you can make the English setter moderately friendly, but do not expect zealous protection of property from the pet. To do this, it is better to choose another breed - Giant Schnauzer, Airedale, or a larger Cane Corso.
