I'm Deborah B., the breeder behind Carousel Kooikerhondjes and Edwardian Intarsia English Setters located in California. My roommate Ginny took my daughter Kate and I to our first dog show where I became intrigued by the world of purebred dogs. When I saw my first English Setter, Ch Guys ’N Dolls Annie O’Brien, I was smitten by the breed! Ever since then, all I've wanted to do is share these wonderful dogs with others!
Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
My parents bred Boxers. Their first litter was born when I was 5 hours old. My life has been filled with purebred dogs ever since. After my own children were grown, I resumed breeding and competing in dog sports.
What makes your program special?
We use every scientifically sound principle of population genetics and diversity management. Health and temperament are our primary goals while adhering to the breed standard.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

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).
