My granddad told me that an Irish Setter gun dog was like a well-worn double: comfortable and sweet in your hands and joyful at your shoulder. Granddad was right, and we have been breeding Irish Setter gun dogs for 30 years. Only our Celts have ever won an Open All Breed Championship...and they did it twice! We produce dark, smallish sprites which exude class both going and pointing. Bred primarily for brains, so that training is a pleasure; bred secondarily for temperament, their love for humanity is more than an afterthought. Those qualities combine to make a fine gentleman's shooting dog, the canine equivalent of Granddad's double Purdey. We will do our best to match one of our Celts to your home.

In addition to Granddad, Ned LeGrande, founder of the modern Field Irish Setter was my mentor and guide from the beginning, as was Col. Ed Schnettler. When Ned finally retired, he blessed me with most of his gene pool.

I’ve blended Ned LeGrande’s guys (& beliefs) with those of my Granddad wth my own ideas, resulting in dogs which consistently:

a breed to type;
b are exceedingly intelligent;
c live to please humans;
d are affectionate;
e have extended attention spans (making them highly trainable);
f possess strong pointing instincts;
g are extraordinary athletes with excellent foot speed;
h are extremely stylish;
i males average 45-55 pounds; females 35-45 pounds; and
j make perfect companions and fulfill my definition of a “Gentleman’s Shooting Dog.”
