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).
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!
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.
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.
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.
