"Pets tend to end up in shelters because people DON'T DO PROPER RESEARCH about the breed they're interested in and it turns out that the breed they're interested in does not match their lifestyle" Yes! More people need to know this.

[@ladypeiandtheclown5410]

If people put the same amount of research into their dog as they do when they purchase a house or car, there would be a hell of of lot less dogs in shelters.

[@Iron-Bridge]

@@ladypeiandtheclown5410 True. I remember being a foolish little boy wanting dogs simply because of how cute they were. Fortunately my parents were the type to take the time and effort to care for these creatures as much as they could and showed me and my siblings the amount of care involved. I'm glad I wasn't allowed to get my way only to abandon them like broken toys because of a combination of childish immaturity and not being taught right. As an adult now, I'll take it further and research the particular breed, attributes and particular needs of the potential pet.

It's also because some people get dogs because of their looks. Huskies, for example..

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

Yeah. Makes sense. I think my family got one of the family dogs because some neighbors didn’t like how hyper their then Brittany spaniel was. Those dogs are pretty expensive apparently. My mom got the girl for free because the neighbor unfortunately didn’t want the girl. She found a home with my family. She loved my brother so much she followed him to school once. Cookie was her name and she went everywhere with my brother. I think mom got Cookie because the girl loved my brother so much at daycare. When the neighbors moved Cookie came with us. I was much younger than my brother so I only knew Cookie at the end of her life. My mom enjoyed having Cookie in the family so after her death mom got another Brittany puppy from a breeder. She’s the dog I remember most. Poor Cookie didn’t have a great life with the neighbor (I’m not sure to what extent) and unfortunately even after living with us my mom found out her husband now deceased ex had been secretly physically abusing Cookie. Mom didn’t know until she divorced him. He was a secret alcoholic. She was in the dark about that too. Mom felt awful after realizing how she didn’t see that. Her husband was good at secrets I guess though she also wonders if she was just stupid. Mom was pretty young when she met her husband. 18. 21 when she married her then husband and moved cities into a house they (well, he) bought. He was older in his mid-late 20s. 29 when married. I don’t think the baby sitter was a good sitter either. Pretty neglectful. They left me in a room to cry all day as a infant because mom asked them to not pass me around. They also refused to let my brother hold me or even console me because it wasn’t “fair to to the other kids”. My brother hated that place. He was also bullied there by the other kids. My brother was a pretty big kid. People always thought it was unfair when he played sports with his peers. Unless that was a different story. Idr since I was a baby.b

Growing up we had a Gordon Setter with the recessive trait, so he was all red. People thought he was an Irish setter until we explained that he was a Gordon. Gordon’s are tan and black, like a Rottweiler, but this dog was red all over. We named him Clifford, because he was a big red dog.

Gordon Setters are awesome dogs. We fostered one for 6 months. He was so good on the leash, and didn’t bark in as much as he ‘talked’. Kept himself to himself and wasn’t a cuddle bug, but we had a great understanding of each other. I was happy but sad at the same time when he found his forever home, because the long walks we had we amazing. He could go 12-14 miles in one go, no problem

I also grew up with a Gordon Setter (since I was 2) and they're amazing!! Her name was Maja, and sadly we had to put her down at the age of 10 (almost 11) due to aggressive cancer.

Years ago, when I moved into my own place, I wanted to get a friend for my little Yorkie, Bo. I went to the shelter and immediately fell in love with a 12-week old puppy who was half Irish Setter and half Golden Retriever. I named her Maddie, and she indeed was one of the most loving and gentle dogs with a great disposition. She loved Bo so much and was very protective of him, plus she loved children and other dogs. I was a very physically active person, and I would take her everywhere with me, including rock climbing. She was so chill and had so much trust when I put her in her harness, and she would be dangling in the air while being lifted to the next level. When it was snowy or too rainy, and we were stuck in the house, I would play a scent game with her. I would take her favorite toy (a sizeable pink flamingo) and hide it in some random place and tell her, “Go find your flamingo!” She got so excited and would run from room to room until she found it. She passed away at the age of twelve after being diagnosed with oral cancer. She will always be “my pretty girl” I miss her and the sweet and goofy dog she always was. ❤️Love you, Maddie, 💖

I agree about learning characteristics of breeds. We adopted a 5-month border collie and we were her third family. The first family had small children and of course, she herded them. So they returned her to the shelter. The second owners were in their late 60’s and couldn’t deal with her boundless energy. She ended up with us - we knew what to expect. She was wonderful.

A beautiful border collie, Opus showed up at my weekend home and would continue to show up and stay all day, every weekend for several years. One night it was 15 degrees and he wouldn't leave at midnight--he still wanted to play fetch, I got him to come in for the night and in the morning he ran out, only to return in the afternoon with a leash attached. I took him around the neighborhood to try and find his house and rang the bell that someone point me towards. The Mom answered and scolded Opus, I told her that I lived diagonally on the next block, and Opus was my constant weekend guest, I requested she tag him with a phone # for the next time he stays overnight and always wondered why poor Opus was so lonely.

The first night, they thought they would get the dog back after I fell asleep, apparently, when my parents called his name, he opened one eye and swooshed his tail then got back to sleep.

[@gracev8762]

What are the dangers?

[@haruananase3706]

@@gracev8762 The danger is that, as stated in the video, this can cause the fur to grow back incorrectly. Not only does this affect texture, color, and coat quality for the appearance of your dog, but especially for double-coated dogs, this can cause the undercoat to mat terribly as it grows faster than the longer outer coat, damaging hair follicles, and will actually impair a dog's ability to regulate their temperature, as the undercoat insulates against both heat and cold. Shaving *any* dog down to their skin should only be done in the most extreme of circumstances for health reasons. Otherwise it's best to avoid clippers except for their recommended breeds and usages.

[@lifagrass]

My parents have a toy Pomeranian who has surgery on both her back knees 2 years ago. The Vet shaved her down to the skin on her back legs and it STILL hasn't grown in at all.

He didn't have happy dogs. In the end I found a lovely breeder and my sweet boy. I was allowed to pick my puppy first in the litter and there were seven boys to choose from.

As a veterinary professional, we see a lot of problems because people don’t do research ranging from behavioral issues all the way to physical injuries that put the animal and human at risk. And as you said the number of dogs that end up in shelters over this is. It’s really tragic and makes me sad whenever I see it ☹️always do your research folks, both you and the dog deserve to live in a happy and cohesive home. You may not end up with the gorgeous breed you wanted, but you’ll have a loving family member and a great human-animal bond❤️

OMG FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!! As a dedicated irish setter owner, I'm so happy to see some representation! No one has setters anymore :( They're definitely crazy but mine have worked WONDERS for my depression. I'm a much happier person when my animals are always happy and friendly

[@katieparks2441]

my only complaint is that yes they ARE ultra vocal. I've never met a quiet setter. They are constantly talking to you, and there were definitely points in puppyhood that I wished I could remove their voice boxes!!!!

[@Moona1966]

Ya know, I was wondering about her lighter color! My parents had Irish Setters when we were growing up, and they are the BEST dogs. Beautiful, smart, and surprisingly ( at least, Copper our dog was) protective of the kids. Would love to have another one day!

Copper is such a lovely name 😍 💕

Indeed, most Irish setter have a much darker coat, almost like red wine. My parent have two Irish setters that I regularly take care of and one of them had to be neutered for medical reasons. His coat is now much lighter and quite similar to the dog on video.

[@Moona1966]

@@I_THE_ME Copper, in her younger years, was a deep mahogany color. I remember marveling that her eyes matched her coat. As she got older, she lightened as well, but not as much as this beauty.

My best friend when I was little had 2 Irish setters just for the reason you stated, great family member. They were so much fun. We spent hours in the back yard playing. Boy, they dug big holes🤫.

[@stanleyharrell6009]

Now you finally got to one of my favorite dogs. An Irish Setter is a beautiful dog. My Dad had an Irish Setter along with an English Setter and a liver pointer. I grew up following those dogs quail hunting. This brings back so many memories.

[@michiokoxiiiable]

I worked at a shelter for 4 years and our biggest turn around dogs were Huskies! People see videos of them being sweet and always talking. They are goofy and loveable! They are also incredibly active and need a good amount of mental and physical stimulation. We always told people this before and I would say almost 70% were returned with horror stories of, "This dog ate my couch." "She chewed through a door." "He dug a hole in my hardwood!".... We would always ask the same question. How long and how many walks are you taking them on? Almost everytime it was either they hadnt taken the dog out in days or they thought a 5 minute walk was good enough.

[@rbwirth12]

One of my favorite dogs when I was a kid was our Irish Setter Bridget. The sweetest dog ever. She got along with everyone, even our grumpy tomcat, who'd she drool over when he was sleeping. During car rides, she'd have the best time going from open window to open window, always with a trail of spittle dripping from her lolling tongue. One of the best dogs ever.

[@natalie654789]

Sounds like such a sweet girl. Beautifully written comment, I have to say. If you wrote a book, I’d read it.

[@clarewardrope2413]

Oh my Goodness. Sadie is just adorable. Growing up our family had 2 Irish Setters and you couldn't ask for a better family dog. Quite dopy at times but hilarious. Sadie is gorgeous x

[@clarsach29]

i am binge watching GWTD videos this week as I battle with COVID and they're really cheering me up and helping me recover, so huge thanks! When I was a small child, one of my aunts had a red setter named Trudy; she was a lovely dog but flighty and mad like most setters....I am 46 now so Trudy has long since gone to Doggyland- RIP

literally same :D my symptoms are not too bad though. I watched hours of GWTD content today :D

Sadie IS a beauty. And SO well-behaved!!

[@tomsuiteriii9742]

I think one of the best unmentioned things about this channel, aside the obvious (the adorable "clients"), is the history and trivia we learn about different breeds. I always come away from these videos learning something new.

[@sarahmccain3064]

I grew up around my grandma’s irish setter Maggie. This sweetie reminds me so much of her. She was so great with all my cousins and enjoyed romping around on their farm til she passed away.

[@kerryrobinson9947]

These breed of dogs loved to be loved. They are GREAT companions. 👍👍

[@zsuzsanna227]

Please, make a longer video about an Irish Setter. They are my favourite dogs. Ever since I looked into the eyes of my doctor's Irish Setter as a child, I have wanted one, I just still have to wait until I can give them what they need. I will never forget the look in his eyes, so kind and intelligent. He was called Johnny, a lovely dog, and very patient with his old human.

A long time ago here in Austin, there was a man who owned FOUR Irish Setters that I saw down by the lake, and at the then-newly-built Town Lake Bridge going over it: he had trained these dogs so perfectly that he could lead them, on leash and in unison, in climbing over the back-to-back benches along the sides of the bridge! So I know all about how trainable they are.

[@caspercat39]

Your so right, breaks my heart when I see neglected dogs. All dogs deserve humans but not all humans deserve dogs!

[@geronimo8159]

I know one of them. He was extremely hyper when he was young, wagging his tail so hard he was essentially whipping bystanders with it...🤣

I had my Irish Settler for 19 years. He was a terrible hunting dog, but great company. RIP Rocky.

[@samlevine1114]

I own an Irish Setter, and it’s important to mention that they are utterly off the charts in energy. The word crazy comes to mind. On the crazy hot matrix, they’re a 10 hot and a 10 crazy. They’re also super loving, affectionate to everyone, and few dogs are goofier!

[@trumpetgirl525]

Another pro for adopting - most shelter dogs have been in a foster home. That means that we know all about their personality and can tell you if the dog would be right for your lifestyle! No researching or guessing!

[@darkcreatureinadarkroom1617]

If the shelter is good and responsible that is. My sister adopted a shelter dog that had been living in a foster home, yet apparently no one knew she suffered from separation anxiety. My sister lives in an apartment alone and at the time worked away from home so, sadly, she couldn't make it work and had to return the dog. I don't think they lied to her out of malice, though, the place was just a terrible mess of mismanagement.

[@livs9961]

IVE BEEN DYING TO SEE YOU DO AN IRISH SETTER MY PUP DYLAN WAS AMAZING!!!! im sp excited i NEVER see irish setters on dog channels but they are so special

[@wordreet]

Hehe, despite Sadie's young age, my mum's Irish Setter was more beautiful. (I am biased, obviously) Her name was Sherie, ❤️, and she came from a rescue centre in the Hastings area of SE England. Sherie was the most gentle dog I've ever met, so sweet and adorable! She was around 2.5 yrs old when she was rescued, and lived eventually to 12.5 yrs. At around 9 years, Sheri seemed to be going downhill physically, but was changed to a fish based tinned food called Chappie. Amazingly her condition improved dramatically, and Sheri lived on to a fine old age for the breed. All her soft toys outlived her. RIP sweet girl!

[@queenhornet1021]

My great grandfather kept his son’s Irish Setter while the son was in the military. That dog was one of the sweetest dogs I’ve known. I have so many fond memories of my summers with him. Your channel is one of my favorites, and I don’t have a dog! Thank you for sharing!

[@mathilder1822]

it's my favorit breed! my grandad used to breed them for hunting, they are the gentlest and cuddliest of dogs, but as you said they absolutely need time to roam free and a lot of exercice to be happy

[@EStramel09]

I do appreciate that you give characteristics of the breed and what kind of lifestyle they have. I eventually want to get a dog(never had one before) and I’m still on the fence about what breed to get, so hearing these is VERY helpful.

[@joannagodfrey5111]

why pick "a breed"? why not go along to your nearest shelter and see who you fall in love with? Or "borrow". a neighbours dog and see how you get along

Many, many years ago, Walt Disney came out with the full length motion picture, BIG RED staring Walter Pegeon as a Canadian dog owner of this fantastic breed of dogs. I think it is now a public domain film and can be seen on several outlets like KZbin. I highly suggest the movie with a box of Kleenex to deal with the tears.

[@antiquegirl6505]

My family had an Irish Setter years before I was born. They loved her, but Mom swore NEVER to have another, because Molly-O was notorious for stealing food (roasts, chops, chicken) off the table or counter, as she was chased out of the house. Mom said Molly just was a "tall, athletic meat-mooch." She was a pro at it, according to Dad...even stole off the grill.
