The English Setter is a medium-size breed of dog. The coat features flecks of colour, and the different colour varieties are referred to as belton. A gentle but at times strong-willed, mischievous gun dog, bred for a mix of endurance and athleticism, it is used to hunt for game such as quail, pheasant and grouse. When working, the dog will hunt methodically seeking the airborne scent of its prey. It is sometimes referred to as the Laverack or Llewellin Setter as these were famous strains of the breed during the major development period in the 19th century. Those from hunting stock are generally of a finer build and with less coat than those bred for show exhibition. The main body coat is short to medium length, lies flat and has a silky texture. Long silky coat – usually called 'feathering', forms fringes on the outside of the ears, neck, chest, down the back of the front legs, under the belly and on the back legs.
