fur you'll find it in your food on your

furry Rockets these dogs need more
0:41
exercise than most humans can handle a

leisurely stroll around the block not

0:49
mountains if you're not ready to become

means they want to be by your side all

the time want to take a shower expect

your Setter to sit outside the door
1:09
staring at you as if you've committed
1:10
the ultimate betrayal it's sweet until
1:13
it becomes suffocating like having a
1:15
furry shadow that never leaves your side
1:18
four The Barking Brigade and then

there's barking English Setters have a
1:22
lot to say about everything squirrels

might think you've adopted a dog or an
1:30
alarm system that never shuts off your

neighbors will know your dog's name
1:34
before they know yours and they might
1:36
not appreciate the nightly serenades

five the training trials training an
1:41
English Setter can feel like trying to
1:42
teach calculus to a goldfish sure

they're intelligent and eager to please
1:47
but they can also be distractable and
1:49
stubborn when they want to be you'll
1:50
find yourself negotiating with your dog
1:52
over treats like it's some sort of
1:54
treaty agreement if I give you this

forget grooming those beautiful long
2:08
coats require maintenance lots of it

congratulations you've just created a
2:17
new breed the matted mess and don't even

the separation anxiety English Setter
2:30
can suffer from separation anxiety
2:31
faster than you can say goodbye leave

them alone for too long and expect an
2:36
emotional reunion worthy of an Oscar
2:38
nomination when you return home they'll
2:40
act as if you've been gone for years
2:42
complete with dramatic whining and
2:43
jumping that could rival any Broadway

little furry tyrants who think they own
