My pups are socialized to thrive in the home environment. We make sure we expose them to other dogs, car rides, and the outdoors. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Basic Manners, Crate Training, Initial House Training, Various Surfaces, Sound Stimulation, Household Desensitization, Human Interactions, Various People, Socialized with Other Animals, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
All pups are vaccinated and have had a wellness check. All of my puppies are screened for deafness (Baer tested) before going to their forever homes.
Your puppy may come with extra benefits, like a small bag of food or a toy carrying the scent of their littermates. While Willowcreek English Setters hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.

Excellent level
Willowcreek English Setters reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for English Setters.
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.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Congenital Deafness (BAER, 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.
OFA/CHIC DNA Repository
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
