Celtic Setters are both AKC and FDSB
registered !
Several Celtic Setter dogs have been
titled BOTH on horseback AND
on walking trials (the same dog); they can succeed in any arena
Celtic Setters are bred as hunters with a
natural range of 50 yards; Celtic Farms and Kennels teaches them to run
that way.
Most important, Celtic Setters are
exceedingly bright: at least 25 are therapy dogs, more than a dozen
are guide dogs to the hearing impaired; more than a dozen are assistants
to paraplegics; at least one is an "epilepsy dog" which detects the onset
of an epileptic attack before it occurs; two walk rounds with a geriatric
orthopedic surgeon and detect the onset of a stroke 24 hours before it
occurs; 2 are drug dogs during the week, companions in the evening and
hunt on weekends; at least 1 finds and points truffles, permitting the
owner to dig them up, rather than having to let pigs dig them up and break
the truffles . . . the point is, their extreme intelligence, overwhelming
desire to please and calmness make them perfect as companions/hunting
dogs! |
