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 Rob Gould. Any English Setter Club members who have any concerns about health issues in the Breed please contact us

The English Setter Health Committee is made up from representatives of each of the breed clubs. The Survey has been developed with support from the Kennel Club.
