By the way, mine retrieves naturally, which is rare.
All the ones I have seen retrieves so I am not sure how rare this is.
You cannot find a friendlier family dog either.
We all could argue this one as retaining to different breeds but, I won't go there.
my neighbor had 2 irish setters,dark red in 1971..they did not hunt them..both were great hunting birds around highschool..what a nose..
both died at 1 year old,both had their mouths lock open and would not shut..a terrible thing to see happen to dog..
