Meet the breeder

I'm Kellyn M., the breeder behind NyaStar located in Glenwood City, WI. We primarily breed family dogs that occasionally hunt & show. Disposition is incredibly important to me considering our dogs live with us & our two kids. We love our dogs so much & invest a lot into them. The most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with our dogs.

Q. & A. with Kellyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I helped raise multiple litters before I ever bred my own. I love the science of preservation and the art of trying to get that dog that fits not only the standard but finds a home and is very loved. With 2 young kids at our house, I understand the value of a healthy mentally sound dog.
  • What makes your program special?

    I raise all our puppies in our home with 2 kids under 10 that help greatly in producing bombproof dogs who love everyone.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

NyaStar 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 Red and White 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.

  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • 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.

  • Full Embark Panel, Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency, Type I, von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I), PRA, Irish Setter Type

    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).
