THE ITALIAN ENGLISH SETTER MORPHOLOGICAL STANDARD. You are in our most important page where we present the italian breed standard. We can not explain all details to avoid mistakes in this translation from Italian into English, so we prefer to use a summary short but correct. Our standard's authors (Caielli, Solaro e Colombo) described every anatomical regions and in particular they fixed dimensions (height, width, angles, ratios) of each parts (head, shoulders, forelegs, hindlegs, etc.) with reference to hunting work.
The images, shown in the following standard, are published in Mr. De Cillis's book "I setter" that was wrote with our cooperation.
