The Russian Setter
from projectupland.com On The Go Hosted by Project Upland Magazine
Sprinkled here and there throughout the sporting literature of the 19th century are references to Russian Setters. Despite the references and the fact that there were a number of dogs listed as Russian Setters entered into studbooks in England and the U.S., such a breed never actually existed. Be that as it may, for a while, sportsmen did breed and hunt over dogs that they called Russian Setters. From writings of the time, we can form a fairly clear picture of what those dogs were like. In terms of appearance, everyone agrees that dogs called Russian Setters had long, rough coats and facial furnishings. Edward Laverack once said that he once saw “a magnificent type of the Russian Setter buried in a coat of a very long floss silky texture; indeed he had by far the greatest profusion of coat of any dog I ever saw.” Most upland vests solve problems by adding more pockets, straps, and bulk. At Kilo Upland, every Langhaar Strap Vest is sewn in Deerwood, Minnesota, and weighs just 1.3 pounds. Learn more at kiloupland.com/projectupland. Read more at projectupland.com.
