We at Shadowney Irish Setters do not breed to sell puppies. We only breed when we are ready for a new puppy ourselves. We want a healthy puppy for ourselves and do not breed a litter without doing health clearances on the parents prior to breeding to help insure that not only do we get a healthy puppy but you also get a healthy puppy.
