Sky is 2. Weighs about 18/20 kg and is very good on a lead.

Although jealous with his food he gets along well with all dogs, but much better with females. However, because he is food driven you would have to be careful with food, certainly at the beginning, but as is often the case with time and positive training this usually resolves itself.

He is not good with cats so no home can be considered where they also live. Once he sees a cat he will not listen to you at all, although all experienced Setter owners will tell you as a breed they do have ‘selective’ hearing!

He is negative to leishmaniasis. He is currently in a pound with volunteers visiting him regularly.

Foster home or very experienced Setter home. He has a high prey drive. Very good in the car.

He is the perfect dog. Good with everyone! Not tested with cats.
