Weight: 50 to 70 pounds
Coat: long and silky
Life span: 10 to 14 years

The Red and White Irish Setter barely escaped extinction when most breeders began focusing on the all-red varieties. Now they're considered a separate breed from their Irish Setter cousins. As gundogs, they're slow to train but eventually become loyal and reliable hunters.
