Meet the breeder

I'm Nicole L., the breeder behind Rocky Mountain Irish Setters located in Orem, UT. Irish Setters are incredibly hard to find — and finding a good breeder is even harder. That’s actually why we started our social media channels (Rocky Mountain Irish Setters ): so families can really get to know us, see our dogs’ personalities, and understand the love and work that goes into every puppy.

Q. & A. with Nicole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    In the 1970s, there were over 250,000 Irish Setters in the United States. Today, that number has dwindled to approximately 4,500. Preserving this magnificent breed requires intentional and responsible breeding efforts to ensure its continuation for future generations. It’s incredibly important to us that our puppies grow into strong, healthy dogs who live long, vibrant lives.
  • What makes your program special?

    From the moment they’re born, our puppies are nurtured and socialized in a loving, hands-on environment—surrounded by kids, other dogs, and lots of love. They grow up in our home, not in a kennel, which helps them become confident, affectionate, and well-adjusted family 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.
