We discovered the Irish Red and White Setter in 1997 and it was love at first sight. Lilt arrived in the fall, and life has never been the same. Lilt was the most joyful dog imaginable. Everything was fun, and she lived her life with a zest. Lilt and I learned together what showing was about — it wasn’t her favourite thing to do, but she put up with it in return for equal time in the field. Although she was very birdy, family commitments did not allow me to work on field titles at that time, and it was her daughter that first ventured into field events with me. |

Our Activities with our Setters |
|
Our Setters have provided laughs and tears over the years. They have brought us many new friendships and acquaintances which have enriched our lives. We have met wonderful people from all over North America and beyond who share a passion for our beautiful, birdy, and brainy breed. Our goal in breeding is to produce Setters with awesome natures, sound minds, and correct structure; dogs that will excel as hunting partners, in the show ring, or as a valued member of a family. |
