Just got to Ireland and found this beauty, colouring is little disappointing though 😅
It probably seems silly to most, but the dog in Ireland being modeled after an Irish Red Setter is a little disappointing to me. I doubt the team did any research for it because it's such a small thing that ultimately doesnt matter, but the original Irish Setters were actually red *and white*. Irish Red Setters were selectively bred by foreigners (Americans, iirc) to be all red (this is also why it's not uncommon for them to have aome white and why it doesnt go against breed standard). The original breed nearly disappeared because of it. It took a lot of hard work to bring them back from the edge, and it took even longer to get them recognised by kennel clubs despite being among the oldest breeds.
The breed still exists (Irish Red & White Setters), I have one and she is incredibly beautiful. I had a small hope that I would see my dog in a game, but it seems not.
Either way, it's nice to see a Setter. They're so few and far between now, and it's uncommon to see them in media.
Edit: tbf, neither Setter breed existed when vikings were in Ireland. The IRWS may have roots to the dogs from the time, but breeds weren't really a thing, I had just been hoping to see my dog in media
