The Irish Setter is known as a moderate shedder. It only sheds twice a year, during spring and autumn. However, these seasonal changes don't mean it will be completely bald or coated with loose hair. The Irish Setter is an excellent choice if you want a dog that doesn't shed much. It has a coarse, wavy double coat that can be any color from deep red to brown, with white markings on the chest, feet, and tail tip.
