Meet the breeder
I'm Darcy P., the breeder behind Stomar Irish Setters located in Geauga County, OH. Our mission is to raise quality Irish Setters that excel in the ring, field, home, and everywhere in between. Our dogs are companions before competitors and we emphasize producing balanced, sound, and healthy animals with rollicking temperaments.

We are passionate about our program and look forward to connecting with you!
Q. & A. with Darcy
Why did you start breeding?
Our first Irish Setter, Glimmer, came to us in 2006 as a puppy. Before this time, we had always had Pembroke Welsh Corgis. Glimmer took us to our first Eukanuba National in 2010, as well as Westminster in 2013, and has worked obedience, rally, agility, and met a few birds along the way! Since then, we have been devoted to continuing our phenomenal Irish Setter bloodlines in an effort to provide other families with loving, healthy, happy, and beautiful puppies.What makes your program special?
All potential breedings are carefully planned and take into consideration all health clearances and risks, the breed standards, temperament, and the ISCO and ISCA code of ethics. We truly love this breed and are dedicated to looking out for these dogs as a whole. We know the health and status of every dog we have bred and are proud of the temperament and conformation of our puppies. We can provide extensive knowledge and guidance to any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
