A wee bit of history~
Alexander, the 4th Duke of
Gordon began breeding setters at
Castle Gordon in Scotland in the
early 1800's. The breed was
originally known as the Black & Tan
or Black & Fallow Setter. The
name was later changed to Gordon
Setter because all the Black and
Tan setters could be traced to the
Gordon Castle Setters.

| "A dog to hunt upland game, a dog to kiss my wee children, a dog for a fireside companion and a dog to brag about in the carriage house on Sunday morn." ~The Duke of Gordon |
| ~The Gordon Setter Comes to America In 1842 George Blunt imported the first two Gordon Setters, Rake and Rachel. He gave Rachel to Daniel Webster. They started the development of the breed in this country. Gordon Setters were bred as "meat" dogs. Their purpose was to help their owner bring home the bacon so to speak. They were prized for their wonderful nose, the ability to find enough game for their family, with plenty of extra to trade at market for what they needed. They were hunted in the morning, played with the children in the afternoon and lounged by the hearth to protect the house at night The breed is still used in the field and is the most truly dual of the three setters |
