Around the Place

Celo Knob catching the first light above the ridge

Home to a Blue Ridge Setter is the cool air of the Western North Carolina mountains. Right outside the kennel door, our dogs enjoy the picturesque Celo Knob, one of the highest peaks east of the Mississippi. They aren't afraid of the steep terrain in search of woodcock and grouse. Jason and Courtney are locals to this area and love raising a family in this beautiful country.

The Blue Ridge Setters kennel with its indoor bays and outdoor runs

Our Kennel

An ideal setup for a small breeding operation. Each dog has its own indoor bay and dog house with pine chips, plus its own outdoor run, floored with waterproof composite decking for complete sanitation. Washed out every time they're released and pressure-washed daily. (More photos coming once the underpinning's done.)

The Blue Ridge Setters dog trailer with Jason alongside it

Our Ride

We haul dogs a lot, so we needed a safe, clean way to do it. Jason took an enclosed trailer and made it the perfect dog rig: vents and windows on every door, rewired for power and lights, a roof fan for the road, and wind-mover fans so the dogs never overheat. Dakota kennels, a water barrel, and locking storage for gear.
