Versorging
Temperament
Loyal, confident and affectionate with its family; reserved and watchful with strangers. Some can be assertive with unfamiliar dogs.
Oefening
Needs one to two hours a day, including free running in safe areas. Field work, hiking, tracking and scent games suit it.
Versorging
Brush the long feathering several times a week and trim feet and ears as needed. Sheds moderately.
Opleiding
Intelligent but independent and slow to mature. Consistent, reward-based training and early socialisation pay off.

Oor die ras
The Gordon Setter takes its name from the 4th Duke of Gordon, who kept black-and-tan setters at Gordon Castle in Scotland in the early 1800s. It was bred for endurance on rough moorland rather than pure speed, which gives it a sturdier build than the English or Irish Setter.
It is deeply attached to its family and can be more reserved with strangers than other setters. It matures slowly, stays playful for a long time and needs daily exercise and regular brushing. Owners often describe a loyal, thoughtful dog with a bit of a stubborn streak.
