Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Studying pedigrees, showing poodles, then Irish setters, and through testing our sires and dams, the decision was made, when a breeder conferred at an Irish Setter Specialty in 2021, to produce our first Irish setter litter in 2023.What makes your program special?
We choose carefully our dams and sires with attention to testing, loving, training, grooming and socialization choices that support our desire to produce happy, healthy, able Irish setter companions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are mahogany. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Maxwell Irish Setters 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 Irish 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.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, 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.
PRA, Irish Setter Type, DNA Disease Panel
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).
