'sitter' for 'setter'

Setters are hunting dogs that indicate the presence of prey by a ‘set’ or crouching posture. It may bring them closer to the ground but it isn’t at all like sitting. Examples:

Cox had an Irish Sitter that he let me name Clancy, and he became my dog after Tuffy bit you and dad took him to the shelter.
