I'm Maura P., the breeder behind BIRDHAVEN located in New York, NY. Many of our puppies have become exceptional show dogs, and all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends. It is important to us not only that we preserve our own phenomenal bloodlines, but that we are improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come!

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
BIRDHAVEN reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for English Setters.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Congenital Deafness (BAER, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
