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!
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 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.
Brookhaven Kennels in Nashua, Montana, is home to the best-trained hunting dogs and puppies you’ll find.
Trained using wild birds right here in Montana, you can’t ask for a better companion during a bird hunt.
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.
Tramore started in 1971 with the purchase of our first Irish Setter. Our main concentration has been showing and breeding, but many of our dogs have gone on to successful obedience careers, therapy, agility, and recently field work.Averaging a litter per year, we breed for sound temperaments, correct conformation, and healthy specimens. We’ve produced over 80 AKC Champions, several Japanese, Mexican and International Champions, and have ROM’s on several of our bitches.
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 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.
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).
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.
