Our passion for the English Setters started in 1982. This marvelous breed has always filled our hearts and our love over the years has stayed the same.
Over all those years, we worked hard to produce an excellent representation of the breed in full respect of the standard. We are very proud of our dogs. Whatever purpose they fulfill; dog shows, reproduction or companion, they are all, first, good family dogs. For us, the marvelous temperament of the English Setter should be in all of our puppies.
We have produced many Canadian and American champions. But, most of all, our dogs won at numerous Canadian and American specialties. The quality of our show dogs (future parents of our litters) is for us primordial. (More)
The structure of our dogs (so their movement) combined to their type (head, size) result in very good representation of the breed that judges recognize regularly at specialties. We never neglected these essential criteria. This is for us the important way to develop and preserve our breed. Our goal has always been to produce outstanding quality puppies in using exceptional parents.
Our Artizoé kennel is now moving in partnership with our good friend Kendra Huber from Keeley English Setters from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
All our females are now in co-ownership and we co-bred the litters. Kendra has the responsibility to whelp and socialize the puppies. So it is in Pennsylvania that our clients have to go to see the puppies. It is a new challenge for Kendra and us. As we always had good time together this association was obvious.
We share the same philosophy and we are proud to continue together to produce great English Setters for the love of the breed and the pleasure of our clients.
