Active Breeders in New Zealand

[Andrew C]

For some reason, we can't find anyone in NZ who plans to breed Irish in the foreseeable future. We had a great "Gang of 4", and through genetic issues & old age, it is now a "Gang of 1", and he so misses his mates.

If anyone is either planning to breed, or knows someone who may breed soon, can they please contact me. 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew

There are a couple of breeders listed on the Dogs New Zealand website Irish Setter Breeders - Fieldworthy and Lanascol Kennels - which may be a start. In Australia a lot of breeders are not advertising litters because of the COVID-19 madness. It's possibly the same in NZ. I am also left with a "Gang of 1" English Setter. Not many people visit ES now because of Facebook.

All the Best

Thanks Susan... In leaving that message, I was just making sure we had covered all the options. In the next 6 months breeders have planned, 3 x Gordon, 2 x English & 1 x Irish litters in NZ.. So even under this Covid farce, there should be some puppies available .... There is still some hope!
