We Do Not Ship Our Puppies
Bringing home a new puppy is an exciting moment, and we want the experience to feel safe, personal, and stress-free for both you and your puppy.
For that reason, we do not “ship” our puppies. Your puppy is never placed in cargo or sent alone. We personally stay with your puppy 100% of the time until they’re safely in your arms.
​
Many of our families travel from across the country to welcome a puppy from Rocky Mountain Irish Setters, and we're happy to help coordinate the safest and easiest option for bringing your puppy home.
​
Option 1: Meet Us in Orem, Utah
For our Utah families -- and those who prefer to drive -- we love welcoming you into our home to pick up your puppy in person.
​
Meeting your puppy at our home gives you the opportunity to see where they were raised and ask any final questions before bringing your new family member home.
​
Option 2: Meet Us at Salt Lake City International Airport
If you're traveling from out of state and prefer to fly, we’re happy to meet you at Salt Lake City International Airport and personally deliver your puppy to you there.
This allows you to fly in, meet your puppy, and return home the same day.
Option 3: White-Glove Flight Nanny delivery (in-cabin, personally escorted)For families who prefer delivery, we can personally fly with your puppy in the cabin to the nearest major airport and hand-deliver them directly to you. This delivery option ranges anywhere between $500 to $1,500, depending on location.
​
Your puppy travels safely with us in the passenger cabin the entire time -- never in cargo -- and remains under our care until they are placed in your arms.
Delivery Cost Breakdown
​
​• Actual Flight Cost – The airline ticket purchased for travel to your location
• $150 In-Cabin Pet Fee – Airline-required fee for your puppy to travel safely in the cabin
• $500 Personal Puppy Concierge Delivery Service – Covers the time and care involved in personally accompanying your puppy throughout their journey, including travel coordination, documentation, flight logistics, and ensuring your puppy remains safe, comfortable, and supervised until they are placed directly in your arms.
IMPORTANT: All travel costs reviewed, approved, and paid prior to booking flights. We confirm all travel details and provide the exact total before anything is reserved — no surprises.
​
Our goal is to make bringing your puppy home as safe, smooth, and personal as possible.
​
Upcoming Litters
We anticipate our next carefully planned litter in late summer/fall 2026.
Families are welcome to submit an application in advance, as we maintain a limited and thoughtfully managed waitlist.
​
Early applications allow us to better understand your home and lifestyle before puppies are born.
​
We do not overbook our litters and prioritize realistic placement timelines.
Choosing Your Puppy
Our goal is to place each puppy in a home where they will truly thrive for a lifetime. Thoughtful placement protects both our dogs and the families who love them.
​
At 7 weeks, we connect personally — either in person or by private video call — and families choose in the order their deposit was received. During this time, we walk you through each puppy’s temperament and help guide you toward the best fit for your home and lifestyle.
​
We are here to support you every step of the way.
Why can’t I choose my puppy at birth?
Temperament cannot be accurately evaluated in the first few weeks of life. We wait until 7 weeks, when personality traits are developmentally visible and measurable.
​
Do deposits secure picking order?
Yes. Families choose in the order deposits are received, once temperament evaluations are complete.
Philosophy
We intentionally plan a limited number of litters each year as part of our preservation-focused program. Our priority is stewardship — not production.
​
Each pairing is carefully considered with long-term breed health, sound structure, and stable temperament in mind. Puppies are placed based on compatibility and approved applications, rather than impulse or convenience.
​
By keeping our program small and intentional, we are able to raise puppies in our home, provide individualized attention, and thoughtfully match each puppy with the right family.
​
We believe fewer, well-planned litters serve both the breed and our families best.
Health Testing & Standards
Responsible preservation breeding begins with health, structure, and temperament.
​
All breeding dogs in our program undergo appropriate health testing in accordance with breed-specific recommendations. We prioritize long-term soundness, stable temperament, and structural integrity when planning each pairing.
​
Our goal is not volume — it is thoughtful, limited litters that contribute positively to the future of the Irish Setter.
​
Health testing may include genetic screening and orthopedic evaluations as recommended for the breed. Documentation is available upon request.
