I'm Amanda E., the breeder behind Ruairi's Irish Setters located in Polk County, FL. My Irish Setters are family members first and show dogs second! I am a proud AKC Breeder of Merit.

I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Irish Setters inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Irish Setters. These have proven to be wonderful companions in my life, and it is a privilege to share that love and friendship with others.What makes your program special?
My breeding program is small and selective. I only produce a litter when I want a puppy for myself. My dogs all live in my home as family members and even sleep on the bed with me! I take a great deal of time and care prior to producing puppies in order to produce pups that are superior in health, conformation, and temperament. We love spoiling and pampering our dogs, and hope that our puppies' new homes will love and cherish them just as much as we do!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level

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
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).
