The Gordon Setter experience
You know you're a Gordon Setter owner when...
●The feathering situation, those gorgeous, silky leg furnishings that collect every burr, twig, and leaf within a half-mile radius. Your post-walk routine is basically a salon appointment.
●That signature Gordon lean-and-stare where they press their entire body against your leg and look up at you with those dark, soulful eyes until you physically cannot ignore them.
●The 'selective deafness' on a scent trail, a dog who follows every command at home suddenly can't hear you when there's a bird three counties away.
●Watching them go from dignified, regal show dog to absolute goofy disaster in 0. seconds flat, usually involving a sprinkler or a pile of leaves.
●The velvet ears. You know. Those impossibly soft, long ears that you absentmindedly stroke while watching TV, and you don't even realize you're doing it until someone points it out.
