Urban Uplander English Setters and Our Future Breeding Program
Urban Uplander English Setters is a small hobby kennel dedicated to the training, breeding, preservation, and overall well-being of the English Setter. Our dogs are wonderful family companions and fantastic hunters in the field. We preserve our dogs' hardwire genetic hunting capabilities by participating in upland performance sports such as AKC Hunt Test/Field Trials, and NAVHDA.
Urban Uplander strives to be an ethical breeder. In order to breed the best dogs possible, we must first provide DNA Genetic Tests, OFA-CHIC Health Tests, prove dogs through titling, find suitable sires/dams that compliment the temperament and workability of mate dogs, and have wonderful and serious owners committed to future pups.
Additional signs of an ethical breeder:
We are at least 2 years away from producing puppies, but to secure a future Urban Uplander pup or to learn more about ethical breeding please contact us!
The English Setter
The English Setter is a medium-sized sporting dog of sweet temper and show-stopping good looks. It is one of the AKC's four British setters created to work on the distinctly different terrains of England, Ireland, and Scotland. English Setters are elegant but solid dogs of beauty and charm. The word 'belton,' unique to the breed, describes the speckled coat patterns of colors that sound good enough to eat: liver, lemon, and orange among them. Under the showy coat is a well-balanced hunter standing about 25 inches at the shoulder. A graceful neck carries a long, oval-shaped head proudly, and dark brown eyes convey a soft expression. The merry English Setter is known as the gentleman of the dog world but is game and boisterous at play. English Setters get on well with other dogs and people. A veteran all-breed dog handler says, 'As a breed to share one's life and living space with, no other breed gives me more pleasure than the English Setter.

Puppy Pickup Weekend Recap
Here you will find the recap of our trip from this weekend to Wisconsin to pick up our English Setter, Suge. This weekend I was able to bring to begin a new bond with our newest pack member and also strengthen bonds with pre-existing family members! It was an amazing weekend and I'm so thrilled to get to share it with you! A large part of this weekend was getting to merge my passion for dogs with my brother's passion for photography.
