Meet the breeder
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!

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).
