This breed is classed in Britain as a VNB - a breed which originated in the UK but now has registration numbers with the Kennel Club of less then 300 puppies per year.
I'm a Canadian teenager on a gap year before Uni and I'm really interested in this. Would anyone like a VNB paragraph/link on this page? I can write it, but am ignorant about formatting etc. Plus, I'm trying to put together a whole collection on all 29 breeds on this list, including history and so on, using Wikipedia as one of my many sources. If you can help, or are interested at all, please contact me either on my talk page or at green_ied_dragon@hotmail.com
The Gordon Setter has been removed from the British Kennel Clubs list of vulnerable breeds a mesage to this effect was posted on there web site on the 4 Jan 2007
See WikiProject Dog breeds.
Moved from article:
I believe the breed was developed in Scotland as a gun dog. They love cold wet weather and my dog jumps in for a swim whenever he sees water.
I do not believe that these dogs are suited to a totally urban environment.
The major health problem in my experience have been hip problems as they get old.
No biggie, but personal observations are not supposed to be in encyclopedia articles. No reason they can't go on your user page though. --maveric149
Just removed this from article: "You are lucky to get a dog to ten years old..." posted by User:82.118.117.51. According to The New Encyclopedia of the Dog, Fogle, life expectancy is 10-12 years for this breed. Elf | Talk16:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to edit the Origin of the breed quite significantly, however I am very new at this so would welcome any comment first - I feel very strongly about this as the origin is nowhere as simple as quoting the Duke of Gordon or saying the breed originates in Scotland - in my humble opinion this a simplistic view of the origin.
I have added a link to the term - Sparrowhawk, Accipiter nisus - which leads now to an external link - actually it is a specific link to the British Sparrowhawk. I hope that helps.
