Well, I am partial to English Setters... we call them fireside dogs. They like to be where you are and will lay at your feet. They do like to go on walks and have some room to run once in a while. Ours do hunt, but that isn't necessary with them. They are great companion dogs, with a gentle and loveing temperment. Great with other dogs and children.
A female is generally around 50 pounds. there are two strains... we like the Lewellen strain, because they are smaller and dont have the super long hair like the Lavereck line.
