More about Wendy

  • Why Wendy started breeding

    Irish Setters are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in and out of the show ring. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the Irish Setter will continue to thrive for a long time to come.
