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.

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.
