I have dedicated the majority of my life to the Irish Setter. I do extensive research before producing a litter and each litter is produced with the same goal in mind, excellence in conformation without sacrificing health, instinct and temperament. I’m a producer of 12 Best In Show winning Irish Setters around the world.
Welcome to Amite Acres Kennels, the home of McKenna Irish Setters.
Though we have many breeds here which we love and care for equally, Irish Setters remain our passion. Our goal is to provide beautiful, quality companions to good show and pet homes. We strive to maintain the standards of the Irish Setter breed and all of our dogs are OFA and PRA certified. We are members of the Irish Setter Club of America and the Irish Setter Club of Greater New Orleans. We are committed to the ISCA Breeder’s Code of Ethics. Feel free to take a look around and enjoy what we have to offer!
Over 50 champions have been bred at Rusticwoods or co-bred by myself, in a limited breeding program. With strong bitches as its foundation, we have been very fortunate to have the depth of quality in our litters with numerous champions and top winners coming out of one litter. I subscribe to the ISCA Breeders Code Of Ethics. An AKC Breeder of Merit and a producer of over 50 AKC Champions and title holders.
We bred our CH Pinray’s Sweet Callalily (Callie) in early May 2017 to CH Ramblin’Red Slamdunk Brigidier General (Chester). We are so pleased to announce that Callie whelped 10 puppies on July 5, 2017. There are 6 boys and 4 girls. They are doing great. We will have a web page titled Callie’s puppies with pictures.
My daughter, son and I are small hobby breeders. We have 6 breeding Irish Setter females and 1 breeding Gordan Setter. We also have 3 Weimaraners. Our dogs get plenty of love and attention. Our goal is to provide you with a healthy, beautifully coated and sound structured companion that you can share many years of love and devotion! We have several litters a year.
Our pups are very popular and go quickly, most are sold before they are old enough to go to their new homes (8 weeks). They come with their first set of vaccinations and health check. We feed quality food to our little red heads and encourage new owners to do the same. We have NEVER had a dissatisfied customer as our pups are smart, beautiful and ready to please!
When we first embarked on our quest for a pair of Irish Setter puppies we didn’t want just any Irish Setters. We were determined that certain behavioral traits and bloodline criteria had to be met. After a lengthily and educational search , we found Akela and Senora. They quickly became part of our family and it is hard to remember a time when they weren’t with us. Akela Lomann’s Teddy Bear’s sire, Lomann’s Veltins is from Germany. Lomann’s Veltins sire, Russells Kismet, is a German Show Champ plus Hunting Champion. A true Dual Champ, which is rare.
When breeding our priority is health first. Finding them good loving forever homes is next on our list. This is done through a screening process which includes filling out a questionnaire and allowing us to do a home check to make sure the puppy is going to a safe home. If the puppy gets shown or gets to do obedience, agility, rally or therapy work that is considered a bonus.
Our Irish Setters are part of our family.Our Dogs are OFA certified for hips and elbows, and tested to be genetically free of PRA, Clad and Vwd. In our future breeding program we will strive for happy, healthy offspring that look good and move well both in the field and conformation ring. We are members of the Irish Setter Club of America, the Irish Setter Club of Minnesota and the Indianhead Kennel Club of Eau Claire, WI.

Redfeathers is located in southwestern Illinois, just across the mighty Mississippi from St. Louis, Missouri. All of my dogs are beloved members of the family and live in the house with me, not in crates or kennels. Health is of the utmost importance to me and all dogs used for breeding have cleared all the health tests recommended by the Irish Setter Club of America.My goal is to produce quality, happy, healthy dogs with sweet temperaments that are intelligent and eager to please their people.
My dogs and I are actively involved in conformation and have been in obedience and agility events. My stud dogs are available to approved bitches. It is my goal to produce sound, healthy, and excellent temperament Irish Setters that conform to the Irish Setter standard. All puppies are sold with health guarantees. As a member of the Irish Setter Club of America, I adhere to the Breeder’s Code of Ethics.

At 57 I feel I have a mission and rewarding labor of love (and , as I call it, lots of “Fun work”). I truly believe I am providing best friends, unconditionally loving companions and family members, and that it is a positive endeavor in an especially troubled world, especially for families with children. We continue to raise puppies and have ongoing positive feedback and referrals from happy people, many with families and children. Some of my dogs are doing therapy work and/or perform in obedience trials.
In the beginning, a very special puppy.., And in the end, a very special old dog…….
In between there is a priceless relationship. Ours have been with Irish Setters (with a few English Cockers mixed in for good measure).

We purchased our first Irish Setter in 1981, Canus County Galway, and immediately fell in the love with the breed.
