If you want to rescue a mix breed dog, great. There are no reputable breeders breeding a Golden Retriever and Irish Setter together. Or, if you want a dog with proper health clearances from a reputable breeder, you can choose one or the other and research breeders. My used to be neighbor always bought Irish Setters. Still does. She loves them. It’s probably obvious, since I’m here, but I’m real partial to Golden Retrievers. Her Setters seemed/seem lovely and very sweet, albeit somewhat high strung.

Thank you! I’m now on the fence about which breed would be better suited for us. We have 3 young children and we want a dog that can join us in our adventures

You’re welcome. I have three grandchildren who live two blocks away. Logan is so great with them. They are almost 10, seven, and five years old. Photo evidence:

(Best wishes for your decision, BTW! I’m sure either would be lovely. Goldens are wonderful with children.)

Edit: I have no idea why it keeps flagging this first photo. It is Adler (five) and Logan sitting on a couch. Lol

He was helping them play ten minutes of mouse here — we were paying them to be quiet. Lolol

Always so awkward when GRF does that to random pictures.... 🤣

I bet some are scared to click on it.

Facebook gave me a timeout once for posting nudity. It was Logan’s AKC Novice Tricks video submission. He was about four months old or so. 😂 I guess the filters translated the golden color hopping around as something much more happening. lolol
