The Irish Setter Club of America Foundation exists through the
generosity of friends of the Irish Setter. We provide
opportunities for people to honor and support our breed. During the year
we engage in activities and fundraising efforts to encourage people to
join us in maintaining and developing programs which will further our
mission.
These are some of the activities which help us reach our goals.
DONATIONS -
We welcome donations and bequests of any amount designated for health,
rescue and general funds for such things as scholarships, publications
and educational conferences. All donations are income tax deductible to
the fullest extent of the law under our 501(c)(3) designation.
Donations are acknowledged in the ISCA Memo and in person to the donor
and the honoree.

Fitting the Pieces of the Puzzle Together:
Anatomy, Structure & Movement Have you ever heard someone
use the words "return of upper arm”, “withers" or "bend of stifle?
Have you heard the phrase “they should move as they stand?”
Has it been a puzzle to you, exactly what these phrases mean, and
exactly where those body parts are?
By focusing on a review of anatomy, structure and movement as
described in the Irish Setter standard, this seminar will help answer
some of the questions people have when studying and interpreting the
Irish Setter standard.
