Planned breeding

We have a breeding planned for the fall of 2008.

One week old Irish setter puppies

Three week old Irish Setter puppies

We have litters spaced about 18 months apart. You may fill out a puppy questionnaire at any time to be added to our "puppy list." We will also refer you to reputable breeders or rescue should you be unable to wait for a puppy or adult dog from us.

Prior to breeding a litter we spend a great deal of time researching pedigrees in order to select the sire that best compliments the dam we are breeding. We choose to breed select bitches we wish to go forward with based on performance in the breed/obedience/and rally rings, gentle temperment and trainability, and health screening results. We believe in breeding our best individuals, not all individuals.

Results of health screening tests are in the OFA, CHIC, CERF, and ISGR databases (OFA also records results from these other canine health databases). Please see information on www.offa.org on searing OFA results and guidelines for puppy buyers.

If you are interested in a puppy contact us and we will send you a puppy questionaire. The questionnaire has no right or wrong answers.It is designed to help us get to know you and what type of dog you are looking for. You are welcome to contact us about arranging a visit, or with questions about Irish Setters.

Adult Dogs

Occasionally we have a young adult for placement. They may be finished champions or AKC pointed dogs, and often have health clearences. These are socialized house dogs, not kennel dogs. We take great care in finding select homes for these dogs based on what we think is best for the individual dog.
