Their lean heads have long, square muzzles, dark round eyes and medium-length ears. They have elegant necks that slope down to deep chests and level backs. Their long, tapered tails are usually carried horizontally. Overall, the English Setter combines gracefulness and strength.<\/p>\n Photography by Kayla Bertagnolli, as captured at the 2018\u00a0Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show<\/a>.<\/em> <\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n English Setter, pointing a game bird.

They also have impeccable manners, treating both family members and new faces with respect and kindness. English Setters can also be a little sensitive: They appreciate lots of attention and want to be involved with their families.
