SETANTA SETTERS BREEDERS OF DUAL GORDON SETTERS FOR THE HOME, THE FIELD & THE RING

Mission Statement

 

Setanta Setters was established with the idea of producing the best quality Gordon Setters that can still do what they were originally bred to do.

Much thought and planning goes into each breeding. Every effort has been made to produce well balanced, healthy, multi-purpose dogs that can do whatever is asked of them, and look good doing it.

On the left you will find links to each litters pedigree as well as links to the main puppy page, the current litter and my breeding program.

I welcome enquires and look forward to helping you find the right dog for you. Below are our past litters. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My First Litter

Dual Champion Tarbaby's Setanta T Rex JH

Tartana Great Bay Lilith

My first litter at Setanta Setters was produced using a leased bitch Tartana Great Bay Lilith and our foundation stud dog DC Tarbaby's Setanta T Rex Jh. It was a large litter 13 puppies with two rare red gordon setters. Rex carries a recessive red gene and when mated with a female that's also a carrier than the possibility exists of red puppies. (A repeat breeding, whelped May 27 2005, did not produce any red puppies.) Puppies from our first litter have all ready placed at field trials, conformation shows, agility and obedience events. But most importantly they all have loving homes. This litter was the first out of our stud dog and the start of the Setanta Line.

Star's litter brother is" Flyer" Dual Champion Indian Sky Spellbound's Superman, her litter sister is"Scout" Dual Champion Indian Sky Gordon Hill Scout. This breeding combines several generation Dual Champion lines on both sides of the pedigree. I decided to keep two puppies from this litter. Watch for Setanta Indian Sky Borelias,"Boo", & Setanta Leo Regulus,"Leo", in both the field and show ring in 2008.

Leo wearing the green has lots of personility and is eager to please. This picture was take wen Leo was seven weeks old.Showing a strong desire even at this early age.

Boo is sporting a red colar and is very stilish on point. Boo is a very sweet girl intense on her birds.

I chose their names in keeping with their mothers name, the theme for this litter was the stars in the sky.
