Working English Setters do not seem to suffer from any specific  health problems, but the English Setter Club feel that it is important for the working side of the Breed to be aware of  health issues and in particular would encourage breeders to think about hip scoring dogs used for breeding.

The English Setter Club is a member of the Joint English Setter Clubs Health Committee which consists of representatives from all seven of the English Setter Breed Clubs.

The English Setter Club Representative on this Committee is Dom Goutorbe.    Any English Setter Club members who have any concerns about health issues in the Breed please  contact us
