The Club’s aims and objectives are to raise the profile of the Four Setter breeds and harness the resources of our members to make a positive contribution to promote the breeds. The club promotes responsible dog ownership and encourages good sportsmanship amongst our members and actively encourage sporting activities. The club is now an identified club for the 4 Setter Breeds to ensure that Queensland has an active voice within the purebred fraternity and Queensland is included in the progress of the breeds in Australia now and in the future . The club is also a point of contact for any rescue or rehoming for any of the 4 Setter breeds. The current members of the club are enthusiastic and keen to be involved in community; promotional and fun social activities. Historically, The Setter Club of Queensland was formed as a Social Club in the 1970's and ran for some years until 1982 when affiliation was granted and it held its first show (a Parade) on 26 Feb 1983 judged by Graham Schmidt before running their first Championship Specialty Setter Show in 1984. The club continued to run shows and promote the 4 Setter breeds until 2004. The club did most of its fundraising at that time by providing catering for other club shows which provided the much needed funds for the running of specialty Shows until it was wound-up in 2004 due to diminishing numbers and workers in the club.
