The History of English Setters
The reason that I am choosing English Setters as my subject is because we currently have three of them as pets, but they are also very well-trained hunting dogs. When they are not out in the field training or hunting for pheasant, quail, grouse, or dove, they are at home, relaxing and being spoiled. They’re a very loving bread and great family pets, yet need room to run and search for those birds. I have been curious about the history of the breed for some time, so this gives me a reason to research and expand my knowledge on our pets.
The research question I chose is “What is the history of English Setters?” I was able to find some interesting history on English Setters as a breed, but it was quite limited. I had no idea that the breed has been around for over 400 years in England and they are a cross between the French Pointer and Spanish Pointer. The dogs are a medium size with an average height of 24 inches and weight of about 60 pounds. The breed is very soft with hair that can have a slight wave. When English Setters are groomed they have what is called a “flag” on the tail, and the legs have “feathers”. They come in multiple different colors but usually have a white base with different color patched or speckles that are black, blue, lemon, liver, orange, or Belton. The color Belton refers to a rare color combination that has a base color and then white speckles.
Although the breed is very family friendly and great with children, with a very gentle domineer, they need room to run and release all the built up energy within. They are not a breed for a small space like an apartment or town-home. They need to be walked multiple times a day and have room to roam. Either suburban or country living would be best suited for them to be able to release that

After the success of Jamestown, more people from England began to settle and explore. During my visit to Jamestown, I learned of several historical events that took place. The English reached Jamestown on May 14, 1607. During the winter of 1609 to 1610, the English went through a period of famine. Chief Powhatan instructed…

Business Plan Essay

Etymology[edit] Both the words accounting and accountancy were in use in Great Britain by the mid-1800s, and are derived from the words accompting and accountantship used in the 18th century.[12] In Middle English (used roughly between the 12th and the late 15th century) the verb "to account" had the form accounten, which was derived from the Old French word aconter,[13] which is in turn related to the Vulgar Latin word computare, meaning "to reckon". The base of computare is putare, which "variously…
