Thank you for your interest in owning a Mythen Irish Setter!

If you would like to own one of our Irish Setters please begin the process by reading our purchase agreement and filling out the questionnaire below.

We always try to find the best possible homes and environment for our Irish Setters. Due to various reasons, not all applicants are a good fit at the time so may not be selected for any puppies from a particular litter. Sometimes we just don't have a puppy available that we feel would be suitable for your desires or lifestyle at that time. We carefully match available puppies to prospective owners based upon specific criteria. That includes your hopes and desires, your household size and ages of children (if any), your activity level, your knowledge of the breed, the puppy's personality and energy level, and so much more. The puppies go to the most suitable homes for them, as well as for the new owners. We do try to find puppies for the people who have been waiting the longest, but that is not always possible.

Please read our purchase contract page before filling out the questionnaire below. Also, please be aware that it may take us some time to get back to you. We are very, very sorry for the delay but we receive so many questionnaires, emails and calls it is just impossible to respond to everyone. We are also on the CKC Puppy List and receive many additional inquiries from there. If we feel we might have a suitable puppy coming up we WILL be in touch, so if you need to update your contact information, please drop us a line! REST ASSURED that we do keep every inquiry in date order and once we have a confirmed pregnancy we will contact people for further information, to find out if they are still interested, etc.

We prefer our first contacts to be via Questionnaire and email. This gives us something to reference at a later date because there are a lot of names and information to remember!

Some of you are aware that our planned litter for 2025 was postponed due to the unavailability of a good Theriogenologist in Nova Scotia. However, it appears that situation has resolved itself now, so we are definitely planning a litter in 2026. To eliminate the chance of a similar problem in 2026, we actually have two stud dogs lined up for Emma, one from excellent show lines in the US and the other from one of our own past breedings that is here in Nova Scotia. This way, if something falls through with being able to bring in the frozen semen from the US for trans cervical insemination, our local boy will be used first, instead of vice versa. Keep your fingers crossed.

We may actually breed our Phoenix in 2026 as well. That decision still hasn't been confirmed. Normally I wouldn't do 2 in one year as we do thoughtful, purposeful breeding only, so our focus is on health and quality, not quantity. This means fewer puppies are usually available. However if her health tests are good, she seems ready according to the vet, and we are able to obtain the sire we want... well, Sometimes you have to alter your plans a little. Thank you for your anticipated understanding! 

Remember, if you complete the Questionnaire you will usually only hear from us once we feel there is a good chance that a suitable puppy will be available. You are free to email us at any time if you have any further questions, want to confirm that we received your information, or just to keep in touch. 🙂
