Meet the breeder
I'm 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 love my dogs and what I do. My dogs and puppies are lovingly raised in my home so that they can be an excellent addition to yours. I am passionate about my work and look forward to connecting with you!
Amanda’s experience
About Amanda
I'm a home-based breeder of Irish Setters who loves showing my dogs in the daytime just as much as I enjoy cuddling them at night. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Irish Setter will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes Amanda’s 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!

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.
