Known for their loyalty and determination, this breed is Irish to the core!
3. The Irish Red and White Setter
Considered a “gundog” in the UK, this pup can handle surprises with grace and aplomb. There’s no better combination of grace and guts. (And this dog is so Irish that the AKC didn’t recognize the breed until 2009!)
