Breeding

I have been owned by Irish Terriers since 1983. My first litter was born in 1986. I have never been a big breeder – a litter a year has been enough for me. Here is a listing on my litters. The most recent ones have their own pages (click the links).

Fardarrigh Twelth Night at 3 months

Fardarrigh Filthy Rich as a puppy. Phot Riikka Leppänen

I decided to be open with illnesses. Breeders who don´t have their dogs screened and health checked are fooling themselves – and the puppy buyers as well as the rest of the breed community. It is a fact that all breeds have hereditary illnesses and all individuals carry defect alleles.

We have all of our breeding stock health checked and recommend even the other dogs of our breeding to be tested.
