Apollo the English Setter puppy

Apollo the English Setter puppy

Apollo is actually a full grown English Setter dog.  But I drew him as a half grown puppy.  Apollo lives with family members of mine.  He is a very nice dog.   English Setters are known for their sweet temperament. . . and Apollo certainly hits that mark.  English setters are also known for being very attractive dogs.  Apollo is that too.  His eye spot is a reddish brown and his main fur is white.  His other spots are a lighter reddish brown.  

The spot pattern is unique to this breed of dog.  It is called belton and in Apollo's case it is liver colored spots... or maybe orange.  English Setters get along with both other dogs and people.  We stayed with Apollo's people before and when we came in to the house on this visit he was all doggy smiles and waggly tail.  

The family also has a female English Setter with a black spot pattern.  She is also very friendly.   One of the unique things my wife and I have noticed is that both dogs are incredibly soft.  Their fur feels a lot like a very young puppy's fur.   This makes them fun to pet.  And they love being petted.
