Meet the breeder

I'm Donna R., the breeder behind Rivendell English Setters located in Silver Lake, OH. My goal is to breed English Setters succeed as loving pets and superior athletes. I focus on health and temperament. My passion for this breed is poured into every aspect of my breeding program. My dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. I prepare all of them to excel in life.

Q. & A. with Donna

  • Why did you start breeding?

    The love of English Setters inspired the start of my program. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the breed while placing an emphasis on producing English Setters of superior health, temperament, and conformation. We constantly strive to improve our breeding program and keep learning as we work closely within the English Setter community to do so.
  • What makes your program special?

    We fully intend to only breed when there is an appropriate match of female and dog that conforms to the health, conformation, and athletic ability of an English Setter. We want lovable, loyal pets that have the potential to be excellent performers. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
