We have been involved with English Setters since 1982. We are dedicated to the happiness, conformation, and health of our dogs. We are passionate about breed type, believing that each of us involved with English Setters has a responsibility to ensure that our gorgeous setters remain true to the breed standard.

We got our first English Setter in 1982 through our dear friend and mentor Mary Margaret Ruth of Wickett Kennels. “Sugar” was the epitome of the English Setter temperament – loving, sweet and a joy to have around. We quickly added Lincoln to our household another gentle soul with a truly beautiful head. Our next addition was Liza, my constant companion and light of our lives for 15 years. It was through our experiences with Liza that we became interested in the dog show world.

We chose our kennel name of Pemberley from my favorite novel “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austin. As all true fans of this novel will remember, Pemberley is the name of Darcy’s ancestral home. This gorgeous English landmark is pictured directly below. It seemed to be such a great symbol upon which to base a kennel name.

We have been actively campaigning our dogs in the show ring since 1984 and competing in the specials ring since 1997. We added a beautiful Irish Setter to our family in 1997 to bring another dimension to our setter world. We are proud of the quality of our dogs and their accomplishments.

We occasionally breed selective litters to be placed in very special, loving homes.

We are members of the:
English Setter Association of America
The Irish Setter Club of America
The Atlanta English Setter Club
The Monterey Bay English Setter Club
