Mountain Star Kennels - Washington Irish Red and White Setter Breeders
About Mountain Star Kennels
We are CLOSING DOWN THE KENNEL. Age and health some times dictate changes in lifestyle. We want to thank all our loyal puppy buyers and friends over the many years we have been in business. There aren't enough words to thank you for the friendships and the care you have given to Mountain Star's pups. We have enjoyed sharing the many journeys. As part of the change I have several IRWS that I would like to place in special homes. There are two girls just over three years old and two older dogs a 10 year old female and 11 year old male. All in excellent health. E Mail me to discuss if intere.sted. harveyhazen@yahoo.com

I have visited Mountain Star Kennels 3 times, twice when I was evaluating them for purchase of my IRWS puppy and once subsequently when I picked her up. Barb and Harvey take excellent care of the dogs. They know and love their dogs, the dogs have hunting and show adventures as well as plenty of yard and lap time. As others have said, they do all of the appropriate tests to ensure strong litters. My 2 year old IRWS is a real joy. She is a total love muffin but also ferocious in the field and has been my introduction to conformation tests which she has mastered far better than I have.
As it relates to hunting, we're working on a Senior title and can hunt her easily. The challenge to be aware of, if unfamiliar with IRWS is their subtle pointing (setting) stance, which is initially a bit harder to identify than the flashy pointer/shorthair/Brittany or even English setter point. But, the bird drive and trainability is definitely there!

I am a small hobby breeder of AKC Yellow Labs, at familyyellowlabs.com, and have used the Lab stud dogs at Mountain Star Kennels since 2011. I give them the highest rating for quality of dogs and quality of service to me as a breeder. Harvey & Barb have focused on good, clean bloodlines for years and have every genetic test & certification possible. They work carefully with their great Veterinarian, and make sure your bitch is happy and well covered. It is true they love dogs and it shows. The pups we produce are often sold before they are conceived and so far EVERY pup buyer says he/she is the best dog they ever had. 100% satisfaction all the way around!

I have owned Labs all my life but my recent Male that I have had for over 9 Years now is the best...his temperament is amazing and he is the least gun shy dog I have ever owned. Will go back to Mtn Star again for next male lab.

I bought a Yellow Male Lab in December 2000. I went for a female, but once I saw this little yellow back in the corner, that was it. I spent about an hour with him. Harvey and Barb talked with at length, answering all my questions. My main question was when could I have my new puppy. Ryelee, (yes he already had a name) was my Christmas Present. I picked up on New Years Eve. Ryelee is my buddy, he is an awesome dog, it was easy to see the love they that Harvey n Barb have for all their dogs and the puppies they sell. If I were to ever want another Lab down there road, there would be no questions as to where I would go.
