About Us

Hi

We are Marie and Mark, a married couple with a shared passion for breeding exceptional dogs. We work together to ensure that each puppy we raise receives the highest standard of care and nurturing. Our home, located in the Essex countryside, serves as a sanctuary for our lovely canine family, providing the ideal environment for raising well-rounded, healthy, and happy puppies. As responsible breeders, we take immense pride in our commitment to producing high-quality Golden Irish puppies that we hope will bring love, joy, and companionship to families everywhere.

We are Higher Standard Licensed Breeders with Rochford District Council (RDC/2021/1239/ANWELF). This means that our premises, facilities, paperwork, and dogs have been thoroughly inspected by a licensing officer as well as their appointed veterinarian. On completion of the Council's inspection we have been awarded the higher standard.

We started our official breeding programme breeding Irish Setters in 2014 when we were Assured Breeders with the Kennel Club. Our priority has and will always be to breed for both temperament and health. All of our adult dogs have undergone the relevant health tests for their breed and copies of these can be viewed by all prospective puppy owners.

We both hold OFQUAL Diplomas in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare. This, with over 15 years of experience in breeding dogs means we can assist new owners in all aspects relating to puppy purchase and their on-going care.

At home, our dogs have 13 acres to run around on and also enjoy swimming in the lake. We have a secure puppy run which our puppies use once they are old enough to spend some supervised time outside.

As mentioned above, our priority when deciding on a breeding programme is the health and temperaments of the Sire and Dam. All our dogs are health tested which include both genetic testing and BVA hip and elbow scores where indicated.

All our pedigree dogs are KC registered and have many Champions in their pedigrees. The pedigree certificates along with health test certificates can be viewed during visits.
