Parker Hollow Setters
Our goal is to produce a small number of quality litters with a focus on health, natural ability and sound conformation. All breeding dogs must be proven on wild birds, especially grouse and woodcock. Our focus on health includes, OFA HIPs Good or Excellent, thyroid and BAER hearing testing. We are looking forward to working with others who are doing great things with these wonderful dogs.

In line with our philosophy of doing everything we can to produce healthy puppies, we wanted to BAER test our recent litter. In talking with other breeders, one of the things that precludes many breeders is having testing available in their area. As we were getting through the weaning stage, I started to plan puppy shots as…
