My love of animals goes way back to my childhood. I had many cats and dogs as a child growing up. My first breed was a collie. We dabbled in training in obedience and I landed at a fun match and also entered into the breed ring. I thought this was great fun. Eventually my love turned to the Irish Setters. I thought the great red dogs where magnificent. I acquired my first Irish Setter in 1989. We trained in Obedience and earned a CD title in 1991.
My first show dog was purchased from a local breeder in 1990. We earned our Championship title in 1992. I bred my first litter in 1994. This litter the "Indian Litter", led me to my first success in my breeding program.
