Step 1 : Introduction to the question "5. Why are they called setters?"
...1. They set on point. 2. They set down quickly. 3. They set the table. 4. They set a good example. All setters are pointers, but the setter points by setting on point. If you've ever seen a setter on point, you will see them bring their body and head down in a line. Almost a slight crouch. My own Irish setter will point almost anything that flies. I'll come into the kitchen to find a setter pointing a fly. I try not to laugh.
