​AISLINGCUDO IRISH RED AND WHITE SETTERS

​We are Drs. Pat and Albrecht Ua Siaghail. We hope that you enjoy viewing the pictures of the many Aislingcudo dogs.  We haste to acknowledge the dedication and hard work that Aislingcudo puppy owners put into supporting and developing the breed.  Many of the brags and pictures on the photo pages reflect the time and energy that they personally have put into their dogs.  A special thank you to the Aislingcudo family! ​

The Irish Red and White Setter is considered to be the oldest and, therefore, the original setter. The Red and White, officially recognized in Ireland, the UK and continental Europe, became a recognized breed under the Canadian Kennel Club in January 2000. The Setter is part of the group referred to as the "Sporting Group" in Canada but is referred to as the "Gun Dog Group" in Europe. The Irish Red and White Setter is a breed that moves effortlessly from the hunt field to the show ring. This energetic, fun loving, intelligent, affectionate breed requires little grooming and makes a wonderful pet with a long, healthy life expectancy.

Origins of AislingCudo

Our kennel name, Aislingcudo, literally means in the vision of Cuddy and Doherty.  From the Gaelic - the translation of aisling is vision or dream. Maureen Cuddy and Canon Patrick Doherty (heirs to Noble Huston’s great heritage) worked tirelessly for decades circa the 1970s.  Both are now over the “Rainbow Bridge” but their vision lives on in all those who continue to promote the breed worldwide.  Síochán – ar dheis lámh Dhé an dís acu.

Our adventure with Irish Red and White Setters began in 1993 with our eight week old Red and White Bran (Can CH Caniscaeli Two is Bran Dil) from the first CKC registered litter in Canada.   The Irish Red and White Setter was not a recognized breed in Canada in 1993 but with love, enterprise and devoted energy, in January of 2000, the breed acquired full recognition with the Canadian Kennel Club.
