Developed by a great Scott, The Duke of Gordon (1825), these black and tan setters are know for their brains, beauty, and bird sense. The winding and pointing ability of these dogs is superb!

The Gordon Setter is a good and loyal family dog.  He is mischievous, demanding, protective of his family and craves the attention of his owner almost to a fault. His devotion to his owner is unsurpassed but he won't quickly warm up to strangers and guests.

The Gordon has a laid back attitude but don't be fooled, he is well known as an escape artist.  Be sure he is securely confined or he will be on the loose.

He requires early obedience training and continued socialization from an early age. This is a sensitive dog who responds best to patient and positive training methods.  Harsh treatment will only instill a stubbornness in him that will be difficult to reverse.  With his sharp memory he is likely to remember everything he learns including bad treatment.

Come to the Blairsville Scottish Festival and watch locally bred Scottish Gordon Setters display discipline, natural ability, and style.

Shamrock Kennels is located on Hwy 76 in Blairsville, Georgia.
