English Setters
Finlayson's English Setters are bred for health, temperament and structure. All adults have been OFA hips and elbows and have had BAER hearing tests as puppies. I do not believe in breeding dogs that have allergies, structure issues or undesirable temperaments. This will help insure the best possible puppy for every family.
The sale of a puppy will include a health certificate, fecal exam, first distemper and kennel cough vaccine and a Puppy Class at Finlayson's. Puppies will also have started crate training for easier transition to the new home.
Puppies will be available to both pet/field and show and service dog homes, but must live inside the house of the new owner. These puppies are born and raised in a loving home not a barn or kennel. Mary Finlayson is an experienced trainer who takes pride in working with the puppies before they leave. They are constantly exposed to different people, dogs and children.
Call to see when the next litter is expected.
Hello to all potential puppy seekers
Pet and companion puppies - $2900
Available young adults, adults, started service dogs and show dogs - price will vary depending on training and age. Starting price is usually $2900 for most dogs.
Are you looking for an English Setter puppy in the next few months or near future. I have a few puppies from a current litter that was born 12/25/22. They will be ready for their new homes at the end of February. I will also have a few young adults available over the next few months.
Please feel free to see videos on my Facebook Finlayson’s Pet Care. You will see the dogs playing in the field with other dogs, showing and just being silly. I take great pride in my breeding Program. I do many health clearances on my breeding dogs before breeding. I offer a health guarantee and breed only stable temperaments that make the best companions for anyone. I am a multiple award-winning breeder in English Setters. I am the breeder and co-owner of the number 3 ranking English setter in the US and Canada 2019. I have been awarded breeder of the year by the English Setter Club of New England and many other awards for my efforts. I breed stable, loving and hard-working temperament for Service Dogs in my service dog program (Granite State Service Dogs). Feel Free to join our Granite State Service Dog FB page to view the setters at work.
The following information is for those who are looking for a puppy.
Litters - A litter was born December 25 2022 - a few puppies are available and will be ready at the end of February..
When can we talk?- I would love to speak with any party that is interested. I do have many inquiries. That being said, I would like to speak only to those who are ready and have put thought into having a puppy. Often, we as breeders spend countless hours with potential homes only for them to back out. This is often due to circumstances that should have been considered before contacting a breeder.
Please make sure all the following are addressed and considered before applying for a puppy.
1. Does every member of your household WANT a puppy?
2. Do you have arrangements for your puppy when you go to work? I understand with COVID many people are now working from home. This may seem great when you have a puppy. Just remember a puppy will demand attention making it hard for you to work. Its like having a 2 year old baby.
3. Finances – Is the purchase price in your budget for a pet($2900), are you financially able to handle future vet bills such as spay/ neuter, vaccines, and emergency fees?
4. You must agree to spay and neuter if your dog is a pet
5. Available young adult, adult, started service dogs and show dogs-price will vary.
Meeting and video chats –Visits and videos chats can be scheduled to meet the adults. This is done only after a preapproval form is sent in. The reason I do it this way is because many people are not serious and just want to visit. I could spend hours each day just with visitors who may never qualify for a puppy.. When you fill out the preapproval you are not committed to buying a puppy. This is a way from me to assure you would be approved before meet and greets are scheduled . Often in the warmer months I will have Meet The Setters days. These are for anyone to come and visit the dogs without pre-approvals. Come play and enjoy the food, dog activities ask questions and snuggle some setters. If you are approved and would like a puppy from a future or present litter, the non-refundable deposit is $500. Please remember the deposit fee is non-refundable because it's holding your place for a puppy and I only take a certain amount of deposits.
.
Who chooses the puppy- You will often have a choice out of a few pups. No one gets to choose from the whole litter. I will be choosing a dog for future breeding; the stud dog owner will often choose a pup. Next certain dogs will be chosen to be future service dogs with Granite State Service Dogs. All puppies that are left will go to pet homes in order of deposits.
How will you get your puppy? Please think about how you will get your puppy. You maybe close enough to drive, if you are not you may have to fly to get your puppy or drive. The next litter will be ready to go home in mid-February.
Pre – Approval form. Below is an interest form. I will send a pre-approval form to you by email once you have completed the interest form. I will start contacting potential puppy homes the end of November. I will first email you with a time that I will call to talk more about the setters and and answer any questions.
