I'm Bailey V., the breeder behind Ol' Red Ranch located in Morley, MI. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on conformation, athleticism, and intelligence. We are dedicated to providing our families with wonderful, healthy, family pets.
Q. & A. with Bailey
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first Irish Setter as a sophomore in high school and I fell in love with the breed. Then came my love for veterinary medicine. I combined the two and came up with an Irish Setter breeding program that focuses on health and longevity of our offspring.
What makes your program special?
Our focus on the health and wellness of the dogs. I would never breed a dog that had conditions that it could pass on to the next generation. I believe it is a breeder's responsibility to be good stewards of the animals that we are entrusted with.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, mahogany, and chestnut. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Good level
Ol' Red Ranch 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.
Vet Wellness Exam
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
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).
