A Golden Irish is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Irish Setter. There are many different variations of this breed but our Golden Irish puppies are a first generation (F1) cross between a Golden Retriever and an Irish Setter. This means that our puppies are 50% Golden Retriever and 50% Irish Setter.  The F1 hybrid is the healthiest cross possible due to “hybrid vigor”.  It is our desire to raise and promote this hybrid.  We carefully select each purebred parent for the characteristics that would result in puppies with the most desirable pet qualities.
