Spirited and fun-loving, these setter dog breeds thrive on an outdoorsy lifestyle and will shower you with bucket loads of affection along the way.

Courageous and spirited, the Irish Red and White Setter is fun-loving, friendly and has a face that manages to look both keen and kind. A true sporting dog, the Irish Red and White Setter will thrive living with an active, sporty and outdoorsy individual or family. They are fierce protectors of any children in their care and they tend to be very patient with their playful antics. They also adore their family as a whole and are loving and intensely devoted to them. When she’s not busy crafting the perfect sentence for her features, buying guides and news pieces, she can be found hanging out with one very mischievous Cocker Spaniel, drinking copious amounts of Jasmine tea and attempting to set numerous world records for the longest ever FaceTime calls with her family back home in NZ. Overall, they tend to be incredibly caring and sociable dogs who will get on with just about anyone - be they of the human or fur variety. Setter dog breeds are hard to overlook if you’re in the market for an active and affectionate pup with a sweet and loyal nature that makes for an utterly devoted companion. Split into four distinct categories - English, Irish, Gordon and Irish Red and White - the setter dog breeds may all look different, but with the exception of a few minor areas where they diverge, their temperaments are remarkably similar. Mild mannered and sensitive for the most part, where the English Setter becomes slightly more challenging is simply in their rather wilful nature. Originally developed as a bird dog, the Irish Setter has a strong prey drive and loves exploring new places. A minimum of one hour of vigorous exercise is recommended, but the more the better - remember, these are hunting dogs, so their energy levels are infinite. That being said, these things are nothing that can’t be sorted out with early socialization.

Before speaking with CTV News London, Marj Kuhn walked her dog and “had a big cry to let it all out.” It was the first time she spoke publicly about her partner of 10 years, Cam Wilcox. Is the coronavirus on its way out? With less than four weeks left in the election campaign, here's how the race — and the results — could affect the rest of Canada. "[We] have no issue with going the extra steps to ensure everybody's safety." Because rabies can have a long incubation period, a dog may be unknowingly imported with the disease, even if it was vaccinated prior to importation," its statement reads. "[If] we're not bringing them in and there's a shortage of adoptable dogs. "But we do not see dogs roaming the streets [in Canada], tired, injured, hungry, starving, on the verge of death." About 90 per cent of the rescue's dogs come from other countries. "The importation of even one rabid dog could result in transmission to humans, pets, and wildlife. "Right now we have about 40 dogs, could be 45," said staff coordinator Valerie Tetreault, speaking to CTV News in late August.

The evaluations, training time and all the hard work put in by K9s For Warriors team eventually results in one of the most rewarding and memorable parts of the journey.
