New health survey for setters

Breed club gathers data on Irish red and white setters

A new breed health survey aims to build a clearer picture of the health of Irish red and white setters, both in the UK and internationally.

Owners are being asked to submit reports on healthy dogs as well as those with diagnosed conditions, to the Irish Red and White Setter Club of Great Britain, who are compiling the data.

It is hoped that the survey will provide valuable data that can be used to aid research on canine health issues.

Caroline Kisko, secretary of the Kennel Club, which is supporting the survey, said: "This is a great opportunity for owners of Irish red and white setters all over the world to help safeguard the health of their breed.



“The survey only takes a short time to complete and the results could prove invaluable in delivering an accurate picture of the health of the breed as a whole, which will help to protect it in the future and further improve the health of these beautiful dogs."

Owners can complete the survey on the breed club's website between September 9 and 30. After the survey period has ended, the findings will be analysed and published anonymously on the website.
