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).
Since 1942 Fleetwood Farms has produced generations of consistantly desirable conformation Irish Setters including AKC Best In Show Ch.Fleetwood Farms mult-Best in Show Team of 4 stud dogs is another example of the consistant good disposition and lovely conformation, we strive for. The Team consisted of 4 stud dogs, from 4 different Mothers but all sired by our Ch. Fleetwood Farms Starheirs Aaron Ardee.We have consistantly strived to breed good quality, dark mahogany setters, that are known for their calm, intelligent temperament.
IronFire Irish Setter bred dogs are excellent shooting dogs that hunt to the cover be it prairie or pine. It is our hope that they would please any foot hunter who wishes an excellent bird dog and companion.Over the years we have out crossed to just about all the good Irish Setter hunting lines and I believe we have in the IronFire dogs all you could wish for in a hunting companion.
We have been breeding Irish Setters for over 30 years. Our aim is to produce healthy, loving, and beautiful dogs. All of our setters that have ever been bred have been certified clear of hip dysplasia. Most of our setters go into pet homes where they become a part of the family. They are great fun loving dogs and give laughter to your life!
Lake Effect Irish Setters, located in snowy Oswego, NY is the perfect setting for these beautiful red dogs. At the home of Bonnie Sheldon live several Irish Setter champions. From our litter, 7 have won Championships in Conformation or Agility, and2 more are pointed.
We were living in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, when in 1968 we got our first Irish Setter. We originally got her as a pet, but were lucky enough to get her Champion title. We then got our foundation bitch from Betty Crawford, CH Shannon’s Pamela.
Walt wanted an English Setter. So, our first English came from Wraggee Run Kennel in Canada. Over the years, we have had several English and Gordon bitches. We have bred Irish over the years and now have 4 generations.
Located in Oregon on acreage outside of Oregon City, we have lots of room for our dogs to work and play. We strongly believe in early puppy socialization as well as evaluation testing to determine what their basic temperament is and which pups are most “birdy” so they can be properly matched with their prospective families. Health and temperment are our priorities, but we are also proud of producing beautiful representatives of the breed.

We have been involved with this breed for over 23 years and what started as a small hobby for me—still is, but is definitely a passion today. We have been very blessed with breeding wonderful dogs to leave here and go into their new homes and offer great companionship. Over the years, dogs bred at Militza have been not only involved in conformation dog showing, but agility, obedience, tracking, and therapy work. We do our very best to breed healthy, happy dogs as that are far more important to us than any win!
At 12 years of age, I knew that I had to have an Irish Setter in my life. I finally got him in 1971. Here at Cairncross Irish Setters,each litter is plannned to produce happy, healthy, exhuberent puppies who have the potenial to be just about anything their owners would like them to be-whether it be in conformation, obedience, agility, field and/or as a loving, lifetime friend. This requires excellent temperments, an eagerness to please, and good health as well as good conformation and intelligence.
We purchased our first Irish Setter in 1981, Canus County Galway, and immediately fell in the love with the breed. I did obedience with Galli and finished her CD with a High-in-Trial.We had always admired the Rockherin line and both our foundation stock went back to their breeding. I am past President of the Irish Setter Club of America and a AKC Judge. After 34 years of being involved with Irish Setters, my love affair with this breed will never die. We breed to produce healthy, sound and good temperment Irish Setters.
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.
We are avid animal lovers and have owned Irish Setters for over 30 years.We proudly own some of the finest bloodlines of Irish Setters in existence today.

Pat and the late Frank Haigler acquired their first Irish Setter in 1964 and soon joined the Irish Setter Club of America in 1965. They went on to become very active as well as influential in the dog show world.Dogs they bred became the foundation for many kennels including Scarlly Setters, Arista Setters and Shawnee Kennels.
Our mission is to promote the Irish Setter breed and to enrich others with the unconditional love only dogs can give. We emphasize quality over quantity. We only have a limited number of litters each year. Our dogs are well socialized and receive a lot of love and attention. We believe in a natural holistic approach to breeding.
