English Setter has its origin in France. Breeders bred the dog with French Pointer and Spanish Pointer. Later, Great Britain introduced this dog to its country. Here, Sir Edward Laverack, a dog breeder, perfected the dog. People used this dog for hunting only when Llewellin, an English breeder created hunting strains of it.
