Gordon Setter puppies are not difficult to rear, though good specimens are difficult to produce; still more so to purchase, when grown up, and thoroughly broken.
In America this variety of Setter is much thought of, and in that country a great deal has been done towards the improvement of the breed, where the value of points is as follows:—
| Head, muzzle and nose | 15 |
| Shoulders and chest | 15 |
| Back, loins, thighs and stifles | 15 |
| Stern and flag | 8 |
| Fore-limbs | 15 |
| Colour and markings | 8 |
| Symmetry and quality | 8 |
| Neck | 5 |
| Eyes, ears and lips | 5 |
| Texture of coat and feather | 6 |
