You are always welcome to contact us if you want to know more about the breed, our dogs and/or are interested in knowing about our puppy plans. The first contact can be either by e-mail or direct message/text message.
Once we have established connection, both parties have the possibility to determine whether we are a good match, i.e. whether we are the right breeder for you and whether you are the right buyer for one of our puppies.
As breeders we spend all our time around our puppies and get to know their personalities and possible differences in temperament better than anyone else. This is the reason why you as a prospective puppy buyer do not get to choose your own puppy. We put in a lot of our time to evaluate each puppy in order to hopefully pair the right puppy with the right buyer. Besides personality tests we also have the puppies BAER hearing tested when they are 6 weeks old. Typically we do not start to pair puppies and buyers until the puppies are close to 7 weeks old. As a buyer you decide whether you wish a boy or a girl and it may be helpful if you let us know any potential preferences within a litter. Should we have several similar puppies we may be able to fulfill your wishes.
When the puppies are about 5-6 weeks old we welcome puppy buyers to come and visit. This is a good time to ask questions, obtain more indepth information and hands on care advise. All our puppies come with lifetime support and as our puppy buyer you can always contact us for help and advice regarding your puppy/dog. We also invite all our puppy buyers to join our private Facebook group. Within this forum you can ask questions, get valuable tips and advice, find other Teasmade English Setters owners close to you, access our on-line guides on how to care for your English Setter, share photos of your English Setters and much more.

We only place our puppies in loving forever homes where the puppy/dog will be living his/her life as a very much loved family member. We do not require that buyers attend field trial tests, dog shows or use their dog for hunting but we do expect that buyers have sufficient time for their dog, provide suitable exercise and activity, understand that the coat needs regular care and grooming and that the dog will not be left alone at home for longer periods than 4 consecutive hours as a grown up (preferably less).
Do you sell puppies to other countries?
Yes we do. In recent years we have exported puppies to countries such as Norway, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Estonia, Ireland, the UK, Canada and the US.
Do you export to the US?
Due to US current import regulations (not allowing puppies less than 6 months of age to enter the country) we are typically not able to export puppies to the US.
Do you ship international?
Yes we do if no other alternative is possible. We do however prefer that buyers collect their puppy at our home or at Arlanda International airport.
Where are you located?
We live in Uppsala (1 hour north of Stockholm), Sweden.
Is there an international airport close to your kennel?
Yes, Arlanda international airport (ARN) is just a 30 min drive away from us.
At what age can I visit the puppies?
You can visit the puppies from the time they are about 5 weeks old. All visits need to be booked in advance.
What health tests have you performed on your current breeding stock?
All current dogs used for breeding are BAER hearing tested with normal hearing on both ears. All current dogs used for breeding have been hip and elbow x-rayed (both x-rays are done after the age of 1 year). Most of our current breeding stock has also been gene tested for Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) and Rod cone degeneration 4 progressive retinal atrophy (rcd4-PRA) or are hereditary free of these diseases. All of our breeding stock tested are free of these diseases (i.e. non-carriers).
How do I care for an English Setter?
The English Setter has a long silky coat that needs regular care (weekly brushing is a minimum) and grooming (several times a year). Teeth, claws and ears need regular attention.
What is the size of an adult English Setter?
According to the breed standard: Males, height at the withers: 65-68 cm (25,5-27 ins). Females, height at the withers: 61-65 cm (24-25,5 ins). Our dogs tend to be on the smaller side. Teasmade males: 59-67 cm (23-26,4 ins), weight 27-32 kg (59-71 lbs) Teasmade females: 56-61 cm (22-24 ins), weight 21-27 kg (46-59 lbs). Individual variations may occur.
I have never met an English Setter. Can I come and visit yours?
We receive so many requests from families wishing to visit us and our setters that we no longer have the ability to welcome everyone or we'd not be able to make enough time for our dogs and our children. We have to prioritize puppy buyers who are always very welcome to visit us when we have puppies.
What coat colours does the English Setter display?
The three most common coat colors are: blue belton (black and white), orange belton (orange and white) and tricolor/blue belton and tan (black and white with tan markings). The English Setter also comes in the following less frequent colors; liver belton, liver belton and tan, lemon belton.
At what age can you start exercising your English Setter?
The English Setter should not be exercised when still growing. We recommend to wait until the dog is about 1-1.5 years old before you gradually add exercise such as running, biking etc. Puppies should never be forced beyond their own capacity but should preferably run and play with other dogs of similar size.
What type of and how much exercise does an English Setter need?
The adult English Setter will benefit from regular exercise and they usually love running. Both puppies and adult English Setters need mental stimulation. For instance nose work (tracking, searching, hunting) and obedience/agility practice will support their well being. The English Setter usually loves to run free / off leash and should, if possible, be given the chance to do so regularly.
What is the life expectancy of an English Setter?
About 10-12 years but many can surpass this range with proper care.
