At Setter Ridge we like for all of our dogs to be house dogs. Consequently the majority of our dogs live with other wonderful friends and families in homes as house dogs. We do have about 10 dogs that always live with us. Those dogs all get to come into the house and spend time with our family. English Setters love to be with people and have house time. They are very friendly and affectionate dogs and don't care to be left out in a kennel.

We have puppies now. For information on puppies, older dogs, and stud dogs, please email us. We permanently identify our dogs, and BAER test most of our puppies before they leave.
