Meet the breeder
I'm BJ P., the breeder behind BJ's Festivity located in Zirconia, NC. We’re home-based breeders of English Setters who love showing our dogs in the daytime just as much as we enjoy snuggling with them at night! We offer high-quality puppies that have the ability to excel in the performance ring AND as loving home companions. We would be honored to connect you with your next beloved English Setter puppy!
Q. & A. with BJ
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding because I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; today’s breeders are the guardians of the future English Setters. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help set the standard for responsible breeding practices in order to ensure that the English Setter will continue to thrive for generations more to come!What makes your program special?
I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy, happy, and excellent representations of the breed standard. My beautiful pups are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
BJ's Festivity 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.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
