Location
We’re located in Orem, Utah (about an hour south of Salt Lake City). Many of our families either fly into Salt Lake to pick up their puppy, or we can help arrange delivery. For more details, go to Travel & Delivery.
Pricing
• Girls: $4,500
• Boys: $3,900
• $250 deposit to reserve a spot (100% refundable at any time), which is applied to the total purchase price of your puppy.
Note: We require a $250 reservation deposit to hold your place. This deposit is fully refundable at any time should your plans change. It simply allows us to thoughtfully plan placements and prioritize committed families.
Our puppies are raised in our home and come with:
• Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS)
• Structured early socialization
• Microchip
• Veterinary wellness exam + first vaccinations
• Deworming
• AKC registration
• Health tested parents
• 1-year health guarantee
• Lifetime breeder support
Our pricing reflects the extensive health testing we do on our parent dogs (OFA hips, elbows, thyroid, PennHIP, CAER eye exams, and Embark genetic testing), as well as the way our puppies are raised in our home with daily handling, socialization, and early development work.
They truly become part of our family while they’re here, and we work very hard to give them the best possible start in life.
Reserving Your Puppy
Deposits are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Once your deposit is received, I will immediately add you to our reservation list and send you a confirmation.
Whether you're hoping for a puppy from our current litter or would prefer to be placed on the waitlist for a future litter, your deposit secures your spot and ensures that a puppy will be reserved for you.
Because we raise our puppies with significant time, care, and individual attention, we keep our litters small and our reservation list limited.
Upcoming Litters
• Late Summer/Early Fall Litter - We anticipate one additional litter during this time.
• Possible Winter Litter - This will depend on when our next girl goes into heat.
Families on the reservation list will always have first priority when puppies are matched with their new homes.
Most of our puppies are reserved before they are old enough to go home, so families who join the reservation list early have the best opportunity to select from upcoming litters.
Next Steps
If you’re interested in a puppy or would like more information about our placement process, please fill out a quick application and we'll follow up with 24 hours. We love connecting with families who are excited to welcome an Irish Setter into their home. 🤍🐾

About Us
We are not a kennel. Our dogs are beloved companions — living in our home or in carefully selected guardian families, where they are raised as true members of the household.
Because our dogs are family first, your puppy begins life in a home environment filled with daily interaction, enrichment, and intentional care.
We are proud to raise healthy, thoughtfully bred, family-friendly Irish Setters — companions designed to bring joy, connection, and lasting memories for years to come.
