Like so many people who love the Irish Setter breed: I got my first setter as a teenager.  Of course, his name was Shannon and he was my introduction into the breed.  Then, for quite a few years, I was without an Irish Setter but never without dogs.  Before getting back into Irish Setters I had many other dogs and I even did some obedience training.  I eventually made my way back to the frolicking, beautiful red dogs.

I began looking for my first "show" Irish Setter in 1998.  I was very fortunate to have met my mentor, an incredible breeder, Ginny Swanson of Tramore Irish Setters.  I got my foundation bitch from Ginny and named her "Tori", Tramore D Toribel.  She has truly been an amazing dog and soul mate. Together we have learned a lot about showing and breeding.

All of our dogs live in our home, sleep in our bedrooms, and share everyday life with my husband, and our 3 children, and myself.  My daughter, Samantha, shows in Junior Showmanship and helps me a great deal with the dogs.  We believe that dogs should be a part of the family and our dogs truly enjoy the lifestyle we share together.

Our goal, while contributing to the breed, is to breed 1-2 litters a year.  We make every effort to breed for good health, temperament, and correct conformation.  I continue to learn every day and my efforts are concentrated on breeding a healthy, happy, and beautiful all-around dog.
