The English Setter

was initially used to "set" or sit down and watch the spot
where it had identified birds for the hunter.
Positives
English Setters are
smart, energetic and very loyal to their family. They are ideal for a
family with lots of children, with an intensely friendly and good
natured character.
Negatives
English Setters are
a working dog, so are unlikely to be suitable for people with sedentary
lifestyles.
