Welcome to Pinestraw Setters! We are a small English Setter kennel and breeder. We do not breed a large volume of puppies, but we do strive for the highest quality in field trial and hunting Setters. Our dogs are achieving success in horseback, walking, and coverdog trials as well as AKC hunt tests. We pay attention to pedigrees in our breedings, but also require individual performance in both sire and dam. We do not overlook the individual personality, because we want all of our pups to be good pets as well.
In addition to field trials we hunt our dogs regularly. They get exposure to multiple species of game birds in several states. Our dogs have hunted pheasants, quail, ruffed grouse, sharptail grouse, woodcock, hungarian partridge, blue grouse, and sage grouse.
Our puppies are raised in a hands-on manner, being socialized by the whole family. They are bold, inquisitive and happy. We do everything that we can to make them well adjusted and ready to begin a life as a bird dog. Thanks for looking at our blog and please check back for new posts or litter announcements.
