Holy Cats!!! Enthusiasm for living !! We just received our 8 week old Irish Setter puppy and she is a handful already!! What a beautiful dog We enjoy every day. Thanks for sharing your Ruby!!
This shows the character, charm and high energy of an Irish Setter perfectly. People who criticize their high energy aren't meant to own them. They aren't for everybody. My setter lived to be 14 and was obedient and well-trained but still often acted as happy and playful as this puppy even at 14. I'm here to tell you these dogs are a pleasure to own but not everyone can handle their high energy. They also need constant companionship and may run away if left alone too long. We used to find our runaway in neighbors' gangways visiting with other dogs if he was left alone too long. Setters will run if they feel lonely. We also would find our dog taking himself for walks down the same streets my Dad would walk him. He would always stop at intersections and sit until the cars passed before crossing, since that's what my Dad taught him to do.
I’m exhausted just watching this. And I had an Irish Setter in my 20s. They do calm down after about 2 years of age, but they are quite energetic until then.
Brings back so many happy memories of my Rufus. Irish Setters can play all day and love attention. Also they love to communicate with the family..very expressive dogs.
I remember having an Irish Setter as a kid. That dog was pumped up for no reason. The worst was when she drank water. And this gravy train dog food. Whenever we got a bag, she would go insane knowing it was coming. She'd kick her food bowl every night at 5 when she knew the gravy train was coming.
@@missmisunderstanding1302 Depriving animals of food is absolutely NOT the thing to do. You'd cause all kinds of problems. Gravy Train dog food was the absolute worst thing to feed a dog. There used to be some really bad dog foods sold.
She is absolutely beautiful and I just love her ears. That’s some very playful high energy behaviour! She’s a lovely dog. I bet she’s mellowed out by now…
I just read she has calmed down at age 3. My setters were”Middle Age” when they really became companions. I have a Red Setter now (rescue). Tomorrow is his birthday-and he is more mellow in the house, but still has a lot of energy especially when he’s outside playing.. I love these dogs. ❤️
Grew up with my Aunts Irish setter. We would let him loose, and he would meet us at our office every day. I have had 3 setters which have passed. I mow have 2 Irish 6:43 Setter Doodles. What a combination. Very energetic and loving. They are very red in color. ❤them dearly.
She reminds me of my Noreen, who was just as precocious yet grew into the best behaved. She would walk the sidewalk with me, then sit at the corner and stay until I called from down the block. She fetched Frisbees in the air and could scale an 8 foot fence.
We didn't give brandy a bed or toy with stuffing until she was older and took care of it. They want to tear apart the filling as though it's a dead animal. We found rug type beds lasted until she wore them out. She is great indoors and much calmer when she gets to be inside with us. She's very well mannered and obedient and doesn't eat the chickens, thank goodness! Have fun!
Onto my second red friend, lost one after 14 year's, never again minty is now 2 old on Xmas eve ,spitting image of this very playful pup ,could pass for litter mates,
Not what I'd call hyper, as some do - she's just playful. Attention is on the humans, whereas a truly hyper dog is just racing around. She's certainly no more of a challenge than a Standard Poodle. I had people stop me when I was walking my black male, who was 75 or 80 lb, to comment on how regal he was. He was a huge handful until around age 3 or so. One man said "why don't you just get a saddle?", and another told me I looked like I was wrestling a pony. He lived to be 13/14, and was a truly great dog. It's just hard to find them here without genetic problems. I would love to get an Irish, and we're thinking about it.
My sweety just passed away 4days ago. Her childhood was just like yours, energetic and happy. I miss her so much and when I saw this vedio, I hope she can be a healthy dog in the heaven.
Oh yes I know this is six years old but this is my dog six months and all of that lol🤗I had one growing up and I have another one much calmer. She just was when I got her very grateful she was in a bad situation but I got her young as well but this one I got at 12 weeks and training her hAs been crazy.. but it just takes results and being clever. She is much much too clever. I had German Shepherd before her and I am like I forgot what training a dog like this is. But we will do it because I adore her.
Silly sod! 😊 I SO want to stroke those lovely soft ears. From the look of it, she could do with a longer walk - as she isn't being tired out enough. I remember when we used to have Flat Coated Retrievers (which are a mixture of Labradors & Irish Setters) and my Dad would take them on a 5 mile walk each morning - and they managed _that_ it *eeeeasily!* Especially when they're young ☺
Do all Irish setter look the same?!!? We've got a 7 month old called Eli - so male - but the total spitting image. Even the facial expressions with the eyebrows! Unless you've stolen our dog and we've just not noticed :)
The dog is adorable. Guys, what do you think about keeping it in an apartment? My mum just want it, but I've heard that this breed needs a lot of space to play. Please reply, thank you (:
If you still need an answer...this breed is very active and needs their regular walks off lead. That means 2-3 walks per day and access to a garden. You could have a Setter in an apartment, but only if you are certain to commit to a couple of big walks and a couple of short outings per day to run, socialize with other dogs and humans. It keeps any dog sane and well behaved (combined with kind training, reward based, no shouting). Irish Setters are very sensitive and gentle, but also naughty rascals with a great sense of humour. Be ready for a long puppyhood (read messy, muddy paws, naughty shennanigans) but an incredible dog if you teach it well. A calm owner with a firm voice when needed will be rewarded with the most incredible dog. Good luck!
А ещё они такие крупные, потому что я их кормлю не собачьим кормом, а свиным комбикормом. Собачий корм сокращает жизнь собакам. В старости у них от собачьего корма, развивается рак, болезни печени, мочевого пузыря и почек.
Lmao the butthurt "such a troll!!" comments. Bruh, if that dog eats that cloth, that dog might need an operation, no joke, dogs can die from eating socks and things like that. Do you want to pay for vet bill? That's how you get a vet bill. Don't give that shit like 'it just wants to play" man pups need training too, shit doesn't get better when it's 1, 2+ yrs old. We're talking about training that tells the dog, don't eat that poisonous/non edible thing, don't get in the dishwasher that has knives and glassware, don't burst out the door and slam into a car on the road. Seriously, this is the most critical stage in a pup's life. And what do people do? Most dogs are given to the shelter when the pups are like, a few months to a year old. And here we have "BUT IT WANTS TO HAVE FUN" Ok, a dog that gets into trouble is never fun, but alright your dog your property, w/e. let's forget how the bar is set so low for dog training around the world and how many people give up good dogs because they couldn't learn how to properly communicate and train their dog. I'm only saying this in regards to some of the comments below just dismissing the seriousness of why training a pup, no matter what genetics or energy level is important.
You can't teach her and play with her in the way you are. We have had 5 setters and she is behaving in exactly the same way as ours do and have done! She thinks you are playing with her! she will never learn a brush is not a toy!! I hope she gets good off the lead walks as she needs to burn off that energy.
Well someone didn't teach there dog obedience. Because now you just make setters look bad, trained once are the complete opposite. Like mine which coincidently is also called ruby. This is stupid :(
Charlie Dillon she's now 3 and very well behaved so there you go! I want my dog to be happy and have fun and it's payed off she has a wonderful character
This is animal cruelty. Between the sofa and the chair this dog will go crazy, and the unused energy is apparent. It would be a different dog if you had a back yard where he could run half of the day. Poor choice when it comes to what you can offer the dog.
Just because they have a small backyard doesn't mean that its cruel owning a high energy dog. The backyard should be a place of play and fun for the dog but if exercised daily and well the dog will do just as well. Calm down.
