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).
At Elmwood Golden Irish we strive to provide Golden Irish puppies that are high quality, family friendly dogs. Golden Irish dogs (also referred to as Irish Golden or Irish Retriever) are attractive in appearance and remain very sociable throughout their life. Check our about page to learn more about this exceptional crossbreed.
Golden Retrievers, Irish Retrievers (Golden Irish), Irish Setters, and Boxers, are an everyday part of Almaroad Kennel. Let me share how it all came about. When my oldest son, Aaron, was about 12 years old, he and his brother Adam wanted a dog. We live on a farm in Madison, IN. Each son had chores they did every day, like bringing in wood to burn in our wood stove and emptying the trash. Allowing them to own a pet, I saw as an opportunity to teach them more about responsibility. Thus began my adventure into raising dogs. Our first two golden retrievers, Razzle and Dazzle, were purchased and the rest is history as they say…over 30 years of it.

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.
I acquired my first Irish Setter in 1989 from a pet store. (Not the recommended way to buy a dog!) She quickly stole my heart, and I fell in love with the breed. Unfortunately, I lost her several months later when some neighborhood children let her loose from her yard and she was killed by a car. I will never forget the pain… It was then that I set about finding another Irish Setter, this time from a reputable breeder. I only wanted a pet and bought a female with an overbite. The breeder of this girl sent me to go watch a dog show in my area. I was hooked immediately! I quickly acquired two more dogs for show. My show career was put on hold when I moved to Saudi Arabia to work at the American School. Of course, I took my dogs with me.
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.
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.
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!
Our Wilbur (CH Magairlin Wingman) is a new Daddy! Dolly and Danny! (5/22/17). Mom is GCH CH Moonstone Geal Agus SamLu JH, BN. The Breeder of this litter is Debbie Reed. These puppies are located in NJ. (Both puppies are spoken for)
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!
