the Height. Its circumference, to met of its length,
in one setter of cm. 60 to the garrese, must be of cm. 40. It must
be very muscoloso, quantunque lean, leggermente arch in its advanced
median part; its conjunction with the clearly marked head, so as to
to leave the posterior part of the skull very free.
The neck
must grow tall with harmony and muscles to increase of importance in
the junction point with the shoulder, but without gravity and always
conserving elegance. It must always be free from giogaia and the
frange, forming a light collar to the inferior margin, they must
enunciate clearly.
Body :
The length of the log measured from the tip of the
shoulder (bachelor articulation humeral) to the tip of the buttock
(posterior tip of the ischio) must advanced the Height. The greater length of the log does not have advanced to
1/20 of the Height or the maximum a 1/18. The log of
the setter must remain in a rectangle.
Chest
:
Very open and wide with muscles chest straps very it
develops to you. Its width in direct proportion of that one of the

surpasses it of approximately two centimeters. Deep with long coasts
and very convex and it arches to it costs opened them. The last
false coasts very approached the front margin of thighs. Very convex
to the met of their height.
Its cross-sectional diameter, than
devout developed to met of the height of the cost one, goes
gradatamente diminishing towards the sterno, without to form for
careens.
Long the sternale region, must rimontare sweetly
towards the abdomen.
The circumference of the cost one must be
1/4 advanced of the Height and its cross-sectional
diameter of 39% of the same height.
In a setter English of cm.60
to the garrese the cost one it would have to supply the following
measures: perimeter measured GO BACK TO LIST the elbow cm.74; to it arches
costs them cm.64, profondit cm.33 height cm.31,5, cross-sectional
diameter cm. 19.
Back
:
Garrese elevated on the dorsal and tightened line for
ravvicinamento of the tip of the bachelor between of they. The
profile of the straight back. The length of the back must be in
connection with profondit of the thorax (the length): to every
vertebra dorsal rib corresponds one.
Lombo and kidney :
Very supplied of muscles in width. Very fused with the
line of the seen back and very arch of profile. Its width and length
a p less fifth of the Height are approached the
length.
Ventre and flanks :
The ventre it must rimontare leggermente, but not too
much: it does not have to be levrett . . The flanks
are long as the lombi and little it grooves to you.
Rump
:
Wide, muscolosa, horizontal (with inclination of
approximately 10 on the horizontal). Its length of approximately 1/3
of the Height and the width of 1/7 of the Height.
Tail
:
inserted high, large and sturdy to the root, it goes
diminishing of grossezza until the tip. Its length must exceed of
approximately three centimeters the height of the front limb to the
elbow. rather low capacity that high, without lateral shunting line,
leggermente incurvata to shape of turned upside down scythe.
The
frange they do not have to begin
from the root of the tail , but only two or
three centimeters from the junction and increase gradatamente of
length until the met of its length in order diminishing gradually
until the tip of the tail, so as to to assume the shape of a
triangle isoscele. The silks must fall in frange straight or
leggermente undulated, not folte, never increspate and goffered.
Sexual organs
The two testicoli must be of correct
and equal development, contained in their natural center: in the
scroto.
Appiombi
normal seen of profile :
1) the vertical one, lowered from the
bachelor-humeral articulation (tip of the shoulder or the arm) must
fall touching the tip of the fingers.
2) the vertical one lowered the omero-radial articulation must divide in two nearly equal parts (greater the that front one), the forearm, the carpo, exiting outside posteriorly to level of the met of the length of the metacarpo.
Appiombi
normal seen of forehead :
The vertical one lowered the
bachelor-humeral articulation must divide in two nearly equal parts
the forearm, the carpo, metacarpo and the foot.
The length of the front limb from earth to the
inferior elbow to the length measured from the elbow to the garrese
. . This length reduced of the limb
measured from earth to the given elbow from brevit of the forearm that in the devout
others setter along of the arm .
This
peculiarit of the setter English has given origin to the happy
expression: "setter anglais east prs de the lands" and this
conformation exactly that one that favors the "gattonamento".

lot drawn near between of they (not devout distant of a centimeter
and means).
Arm
:
As the supplied muscle shoulder a lot develops to you
and strongly skeleton. Inclination of approximately on the 65 has
one horizontal and the length ( advanced to that one of the forearm
) approximately 33% of the Height. Its direction nearly parallel to the median plan of the
body.
Forearm
:
Strongly skeleton, introduces one vertical line; its
section oval, to difference of the
others setters its inferior length to that one of the arm. In a
setter English of cm. 60 to the garrese, the height of the limb to
the elbow of cm.28,50 . . With an inferior
height to this measure a too much short limb would be had and the
dog would be esageratamente prs de
lands to damage of the aesthetic one, of
the sailing point and the velocit.
The elbows must be found in a
flat parallel to the median plan of the body: not too much locked to
the wall of cost (sayings elbows sluices), n it turns aside you to
the infuori (open elbows).
The tip of the elbow must somewhat
find ahead to the perpendicular descent from the tail angle
(posterior tip) of the bachelor.
Carpo
:
On the seen vertical line of forehead; profile approval
must be spread so that the vertical one lowered from the radial
omero articulation must divide in two equal parts the forearm and
the carpo and exit outside to met of the length of the metacarpo.
Its length a p advanced of 1/6 of the height of all the limb to the
elbow.
. Piede :
Of shape oval (foot of lepre) with very near between
they and arch, covered fingers of hair enough along also between the
fingers. Hard and nails ricurve and pigmented sole.
Appiombi
normal seen of profile :
The vertical one lowered from the tip
of the buttock must always touch the tip of the fingers, having the
metatarso to be in vertical position.
Appiombi
normal seen posteriorly :
The vertical one lowered from the tip
of the buttock must divide in two equal parts the tip of the
garretto, metatarso and foot.
Thigh
:
Wide, long, and muscolosa with convex posterior margin,
its direction oblqua from the high to the bottom and GO BACK TO LIST in ahead
(75%) and, regarding the vertical one, parallel to the median plan
of the body. Its length does not have to be inferior to the third
party of the Height and the external face must catch
up the 3/4 of its length.
Leg
:
With strong skeleton, very supplied of muscles, with
very marked gambale rabbet. Its little inferior length to that one
of the thigh and its inclination of approximately 38 on the
horizontal.
Garretto :
Its faces must be the much wide and its front angle,
date the emphasized inclination of the tibia, closed. The distance
from the tip of the garretto to earth must be of approximately 27%
of the Height.
The posterior line that they give
the tip of the garretto comes down to earth must be found on the
vertical one lowered from the tip of the ischio.
Metatarso
:
The metatarso its length of approximately must be always
found in vertical position and, in one setter of cm. 60 to the
garrese, cm. 16,50. Sturdy, dry, lacking in spurs; profile approval
must be found GO BACK TO LIST of the vertical one lowered from the tip of the
buttock, a p devout of the measure of the foot.
. Piede :
With all requirement of front and p a little oval.
Hair :
Aim, ironed, maintains in all its length, than of
approximately cm. 5-6, one straight line, without some shunting line
from its axis. of setacea nature.

(advanced part), front margin and on the lateral faces of the
forearm, the footstep, and the metatarso. Shape frange not folte to
the inferior margin of the neck, to the sternale region, the
posterior margin of the limbs, to buttocks and the tail.
The
feet very are guarniti of hair especially between the fingers.
Abundant Sottopelo only in the winter season.
