Irish setter
Is a "red setter" the same as an Irish setter? I don't believe I've ever heard that phrase red setter.
We had an Irish as a family pet when first married, a long and interesting story by not on track for here. I did not hunt him, but still, w/o training, he was still birdy, and pointed several coveys on woods walks. I rescued him as an adult, he'd been "peppered" by some fool and I dug pellets out of him on occasion as they worked to the surface. He was TERRIBLY gun shy accordingly, but a great pal. I took that dog everywhere. And lord did he love to ramble.
Name...."Red" of course, the neighbor kids started calling him that as I rehabed him and it stuck.
